36:1

And Elius further continued, and said,

—

36:2

Wait for me yet a little while, that I may teach thee: for there is yet speech in me.

—

36:3

Having fetched my knowledge from afar, and according to my works,

—

36:4

I will speak just things truly, and thou shalt not unjustly receive unjust words.

—

36:5

But know that the Lord will not cast off an innocent man: being mighty in strength of wisdom,

—

36:6

he will not by any means save alive the ungodly: and he will grant the judgment of the poor.

—

36:7

He will not turn away his eyes from the righteous, but [they shall be] with kings on the throne: and he will establish them in triumph, and they shall be exalted.

—

36:8

But they that are bound in fetters shall be holden in cords of poverty.

—

36:9

And he shall recount to them their works, and their transgressions, for such will act with violence.

—

36:10

But he will hearken to the righteous: and he has said that they shall turn from unrighteousness.

—

36:11

If they should hear and serve [him], they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in honour.

—

36:12

But he preserves not the ungodly; because they are not willing to know the Lord, and because when reproved they were disobedient.

—

36:13

And the hypocrites in heart will array wrath [against themselves]; they will not cry, because he has bound them.

—

36:14

Therefore let their soul die in youth, and their life be wounded by messengers [of death].

—

36:15

Because they afflicted the weak and helpless: and he will vindicate the judgment of the meek.

—

36:16

And he has also enticed thee out of the mouth of the enemy:

—

36:17

[there is] a deep gulf [and] a rushing stream beneath it, and thy table came down full of fatness. Judgment shall not fail from the righteous;

—

36:18

but there shall be wrath upon the ungodly, by reason of the ungodliness of the bribes which they received for iniquities.

—

36:19

Let not [thy] mind willingly turn thee aside from the petition of the feeble that are in distress.

—

36:20

And draw not forth all the mighty [men] by night, so that the people should go up instead of them.

—

36:21

But take heed lest thou do that which is wrong: for of this thou hast made choice because of poverty.

—

36:22

Behold, the Mighty One shall prevail by his strength: for who is powerful as he is?

—

36:23

And who is he that examines his works? or who can say, He has wrought injustice?

—

36:24

Remember that his works are great [beyond] those which men have attempted.

—

36:25

Every man has seen in himself, how many mortals are wounded.

—

36:26

Behold, the Mighty One is great, and we shall not know [him]: the number of his years is even infinite.

—

36:27

And the drops of rain are numbered by him, and shall be poured out in rain to form a cloud.

—

36:28

The ancient [heavens] shall flow, and the clouds overshadow innumerable mortals:

—

36:28

he has fixed a time to cattle, and they know the order of rest.

—

36:28

[Yet] by all these things thy understanding is not astonished, neither is thy mind disturbed in [thy] body.

—

36:29

And though one should understand the outspreadings of the clouds, [or] the measure of his tabernacle;

—

36:30

behold he will stretch his bow against him, and he covers the bottom of the sea.

—

36:31

For by them he will judge the nations: he will give food to him that has strength.

—

36:32

He has hidden the light in [his] hands, and given charge concerning it to the interposing [cloud].

—

36:33

The Lord will declare concerning this [to] his friend: [but there is] a portion also for unrighteousness.
