JOB 34:37–36:7 Elihu directs toward the Grand Maker 706
37 For on top of his sin he adds
revolt; a
Among us he claps his
hands and multiplies his
sayings against the true
God!” b
35
And E·lihu continued answering
and saying:
2 “Is this what you have regarded
as justice?
You have said, ‘My righteousnessismorethan
God’s.’ c
3 For you say, ‘Of what use is it
to you? d
What benefit do I have
more than by my sinning?’
e
4 Imyselfshallreplytoyou
And to your companions f
with you.
5 Look up to heaven g and see,
And behold the clouds, h
that they are indeed
higher than you.
6 If you actually sin, what do
you accomplish against
him? i
And if your revolts actually
increase, what do you
do to him?
7 If you are really in the right,
what do you give him,
Or what does he receive
from your own hand? j
8 Your wickedness may be
against a man like you, k
And your righteousness to
a son of earthling man. l
9 Because of the multitude of
oppressions they keep
calling for aid; m
They keep crying for help
because of the arm of
the great ones. n
10 And yet no one has said,
‘Where is God my Grand
Maker, o
The One giving melodies in
the night?’ p
11 He is the One teaching q us
more than the beasts of
the earth, r
And he makes us wiser
than even the flying

12 There they keep crying out,
but he does not answer, a
Because of the pride b of
the bad ones.
13 Only the untruth God does
not hear, c
And the Almighty himself
does not behold it. d
14 How much less, then, when
you say you do not behold
him! e
The legal case is before
him, and so you should
wait anxiously for him. f
15 And now because his anger
has not called for an accounting,
g
He has also not taken note
of the extreme rashness.
h
16 And Job himself opens his
mouth wide simply for
nothing;
Without knowledge he
multiplies mere words.” i
36
And E·lihu proceeded to
say further:
2 “Have patience with me a little
while, and I shall declare
to you
That there are yet words to
say for God.
3 I shall carry my knowledge
from far off,
And to my Fashioner I
shall ascribe righteousness.
j
4 For my words are for a fact no
falsehood;
The One perfect in knowledge
k is with you.
5 Look! God is mighty l and will
not reject;
He is mighty in power of
heart;
6 He will not preserve anyone
wicked alive, m
But the judgment of the afflicted
ones he will give. n
7 He will not take away his eyes
from anyone righteous; o

throne p —
