Job 36:12-29
-
12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
-
13 But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them.
-
14 They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
-
15 He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.
-
16 Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness.
-
17 But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee.
-
18 Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.
-
19 Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.
-
20 Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.
-
21 Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
-
22 Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
-
23 Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?
-
24 Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.
-
25 Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.
-
26 Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
-
27 For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:
-
28 Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.
-
29 Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?
