ElihuH453 also proceededH3254, and saidH559,
SufferH3803 me a littleH2191, and I will shewH2331 thee that I have yet to speakH4405 on God'sH433 behalf. {I have…: Heb. there are yet words for God}
I will fetchH5375 my knowledgeH1843 from afarH7350, and will ascribeH5414 righteousnessH6664 to my MakerH6466.
For trulyH551 my wordsH4405 shall not be falseH8267: he that is perfectH8549 in knowledgeH1844 is with thee.
Behold, GodH410 is mightyH3524, and despisethH3988 not any: he is mightyH3524 in strengthH3581 and wisdomH3820. {wisdom: Heb. heart}
He preserveth not the lifeH2421 of the wickedH7563: but givethH5414 rightH4941 to the poorH6041. {poor: or, afflicted}
He withdrawethH1639 not his eyesH5869 from the righteousH6662: but with kingsH4428 are they on the throneH3678; yea, he doth establishH3427 them for everH5331, and they are exaltedH1361.
And if they be boundH631 in fettersH2131, and be holdenH3920 in cordsH2256 of afflictionH6040;
Then he shewethH5046 them their workH6467, and their transgressionsH6588 that they have exceededH1396.
He openethH1540 also their earH241 to disciplineH4148, and commandethH559 that they returnH7725 from iniquityH205.
If they obeyH8085 and serveH5647 him, they shall spendH3615 their daysH3117 in prosperityH2896, and their yearsH8141 in pleasuresH5273.
But if they obeyH8085 not, they shall perishH5674 by the swordH7973, and they shall dieH1478 without knowledgeH1847. {perish: Heb. pass away}
But the hypocritesH2611 in heartH3820 heap upH7760 wrathH639: they cryH7768 not when he bindethH631 them.
TheyH5315 dieH4191 in youthH5290, and their lifeH2416 is among the uncleanH6945. {They…: Heb. Their soul dieth} {unclean: or, sodomites}
He deliverethH2502 the poorH6041 in his afflictionH6040, and openethH1540 their earsH241 in oppressionH3906. {poor: or, afflicted}
Even so would he have removedH5496 thee out of the straitH6310+H6862 into a broad placeH7338, whereH8478 there is no straitnessH4164; and that which should be setH5183 on thy tableH7979 should be fullH4390 of fatnessH1880. {that…: Heb. the rest of thy table}
But thou hast fulfilledH4390 the judgmentH1779 of the wickedH7563: judgmentH1779 and justiceH4941 take holdH8551 on thee. {take…: or, should uphold thee}
Because there is wrathH2534, beware lest he take thee awayH5496 with his strokeH5607: then a greatH7230 ransomH3724 cannot deliverH5186 thee. {deliver…: Heb. turn thee aside}
Will he esteemH6186 thy richesH7769? no, not goldH1222, nor all the forcesH3981 of strengthH3581.
DesireH7602 not the nightH3915, when peopleH5971 are cut offH5927 in their place.
Take heedH8104, regardH6437 not iniquityH205: for this hast thou chosenH977 rather than afflictionH6040.
Behold, GodH410 exaltethH7682 by his powerH3581: who teachethH3384 like him?
Who hath enjoinedH6485 him his wayH1870? or who can sayH559, Thou hast wroughtH6466 iniquityH5766?
RememberH2142 that thou magnifyH7679 his workH6467, which menH582 beholdH7891.
Every manH120 may seeH2372 it; manH582 may beholdH5027 it afar offH7350.
Behold, GodH410 is greatH7689, and we knowH3045 him not, neither can the numberH4557 of his yearsH8141 be searched outH2714.
For he maketh smallH1639 the dropsH5198 of waterH4325: they pour downH2212 rainH4306 according to the vapourH108 thereof:
Which the cloudsH7834 do dropH5140 and distilH7491 upon manH120 abundantlyH7227.
Also can any understandH995 the spreadingsH4666 of the cloudsH5645, or the noiseH8663 of his tabernacleH5521?
Behold, he spreadethH6566 his lightH216 upon it, and coverethH3680 the bottomH8328 of the seaH3220. {bottom: Heb. roots}
For by them judgethH1777 he the peopleH5971; he givethH5414 meatH400 in abundanceH4342.
With cloudsH3709 he coverethH3680 the lightH216; and commandethH6680 it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixtH6293.
The noiseH7452 thereof shewethH5046 concerning it, the cattleH4735 also concerning the vapourH5927. {the vapour: Heb. that which goeth up}
Querverweise zu Hiob 36,31 Hiob 36,31
He causeth it to comeH4672, whether for correctionH7626, or for his landH776, or for mercyH2617. {correction: Heb. a rod}
To cause it to rainH4305 on the earthH776, where no manH376 is; on the wildernessH4057, wherein there is no manH120;
Hast thou enteredH935 into the treasuresH214 of the snowH7950? or hast thou seenH7200 the treasuresH214 of the hailH1259,
To satisfyH7646 the desolateH7722 and wasteH4875 ground; and to cause the budH4161 of the tender herbH1877 to spring forthH6779?
Which I have reservedH2820 against the timeH6256 of troubleH6862, against the dayH3117 of battleH7128 and warH4421?
Thou visitestH6485 the earthH776, and waterestH7783 it: thou greatlyH7227 enrichestH6238 it with the riverH6388 of GodH430, which is fullH4390 of waterH4325: thou preparestH3559 them cornH1715, when thou hast so providedH3559 for it. {and…: or, after thou hadst made it to desire rain}
Thou waterestH7301 the ridgesH8525 thereof abundantlyH7301: thou settlestH5181 the furrowsH1417+H1418 thereof: thou makest it softH4127 with showersH7241: thou blessestH1288 the springingH6780 thereof. {settlest: or, causest rain to descend into} {makest…: Heb. dissolvest it}
Thou crownestH5849 the yearH8141 with thy goodnessH2896; and thy pathsH4570 dropH7491 fatnessH1880. {with: Heb. of}
They dropH7491 upon the pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057: and the little hillsH1389 rejoiceH1524 on every sideH2296. {rejoice…: Heb. are girded with joy}
The pasturesH3733 are clothedH3847 with flocksH6629; the valleysH6010 also are covered overH5848 with cornH1250; they shout for joyH7321, they also singH7891.
And, beholdH2009, IH589, even I, do bringH935 a floodH3999 of watersH4325 upon the earthH776, to destroyH7843 all fleshH1320, wherein is the breathH7307 of lifeH2416, from underH8478 heavenH8064; and every thingH3605 that is in the earthH776 shall dieH1478.
He waterethH8248 the hillsH2022 from his chambersH5944: the earthH776 is satisfiedH7646 with the fruitH6529 of thy worksH4639.
He causeth the grassH2682 to growH6779 for the cattleH929, and herbH6212 for the serviceH5656 of manH120: that he may bring forthH3318 foodH3899 out of the earthH776;
And wineH3196 that maketh gladH8055 the heartH3824 of manH582, and oilH8081 to make his faceH6440 to shineH6670, and breadH3899 which strengthenethH5582 man'sH582 heartH3824. {oil…: Heb. to make his face shine with oil, or, more than oil}
And the floodH3999 was fortyH705 daysH3117 upon the earthH776; and the watersH4325 increasedH7235, and bare upH5375 the arkH8392, and it was lift upH7311 above the earthH776.
And the watersH4325 prevailedH1396, and were increasedH7235 greatlyH3966 upon the earthH776; and the arkH8392 wentH3212 upon the faceH6440 of the watersH4325.
And the watersH4325 prevailedH1396 exceedinglyH3966+H3966 upon the earthH776; and all the highH1364 hillsH2022, that were underH8478 the whole heavenH8064, were coveredH3680.
FifteenH6240+H2568 cubitsH520 upwardH4605 did the watersH4325 prevailH1396; and the mountainsH2022 were coveredH3680.
And all fleshH1320 diedH1478 that movedH7430 upon the earthH776, both of fowlH5775, and of cattleH929, and of beastH2416, and of every creeping thingH8318 that creepethH8317 upon the earthH776, and every manH120:
All in whose nostrilsH639 was the breathH5397+H7307 of lifeH2416, of all that was in the dryH2724 land, diedH4191. {the breath…: Heb. the breath of the spirit of life}
And every living substanceH3351 was destroyedH4229 which was upon the faceH6440 of the groundH127, both manH120, and cattleH929, and the creeping thingsH7431, and the fowlH5775 of the heavenH8064; and they were destroyedH4229 from the earthH776: and NoahH5146 onlyH389 remainedH7604 alive, and they thatH834 were with him in the arkH8392.
And the watersH4325 prevailedH1396 upon the earthH776 an hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 daysH3117.
Then the LORDH3068 rainedH4305 upon SodomH5467 and upon GomorrahH6017 brimstoneH1614 and fireH784 from the LORDH3068 out of heavenH8064;
That thou givestH5414 them they gatherH3950: thou openestH6605 thine handH3027, they are filledH7646 with goodH2896.
And MosesH4872 stretched forthH5186 his rodH4294 toward heavenH8064: and the LORDH3068 sentH5414 thunderH6963 and hailH1259, and the fireH784 ran alongH1980 upon the groundH776; and the LORDH3068 rainedH4305 hailH1259 upon the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
So there was hailH1259, and fireH784+H3947 mingledH8432 with the hailH1259, veryH3966 grievousH3515, such as there was noneH3808 like it in all the landH776 of EgyptH4714 since it became a nationH1471.
And the hailH1259 smoteH5221 throughout all the landH776 of EgyptH4714 all that was in the fieldH7704, both manH120 and beastH929; and the hailH1259 smoteH5221 every herbH6212 of the fieldH7704, and brakeH7665 every treeH6086 of the fieldH7704.
And thou shalt rememberH2142 all the wayH1870 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 ledH3212 thee these fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the wildernessH4057, to humbleH6031 thee, and to proveH5254 thee, to knowH3045 what was in thine heartH3824, whether thou wouldest keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, or no.
NeverthelessG2544+G2532 he leftG863 notG3756 himselfG1438 without witnessG267, in that he did goodG15, and gaveG1325 usG2254 rainG5205 from heavenG3771, andG2532 fruitfulG2593 seasonsG2540, fillingG1705 ourG2257 heartsG2588 with foodG5160 andG2532 gladnessG2167.
Who ledH3212 thee through that greatH1419 and terribleH3372 wildernessH4057, wherein were fieryH8314 serpentsH5175, and scorpionsH6137, and droughtH6774, where there was no waterH4325; who brought thee forthH3318 waterH4325 out of the rockH6697 of flintH2496;
And it came to pass, as they fledH5127 from beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, and were in the going downH4174 to BethhoronH1032, that the LORDH3068 cast downH7993 greatH1419 stonesH68 from heavenH8064 upon them unto AzekahH5825, and they diedH4191: they were moreH7227 which diedH4191 with hailstonesH1259+H68 than they whomH834 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 slewH2026 with the swordH2719.
The adversariesH7378 of the LORDH3068 shall be broken to piecesH2865; out of heavenH8064 shall he thunderH7481 upon them: the LORDH3068 shall judgeH1777 the endsH657 of the earthH776; and he shall giveH5414 strengthH5797 unto his kingH4428, and exaltH7311 the hornH7161 of his anointedH4899.
And as SamuelH8050 was offering upH5927 the burnt offeringH5930, the PhilistinesH6430 drew nearH5066 to battleH4421 against IsraelH3478: but the LORDH3068 thunderedH7481 with a greatH1419 thunderH6963 on that dayH3117 upon the PhilistinesH6430, and discomfitedH2000 them; and they were smittenH5062 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478.
