Job 36:11-30 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

11. If they shall hear and observe, they shall accomplish their days in good, and their years in glory.

12. But if they hear not, they shall pass by the sword, and shall be consumed in folly.

13. Dissemblers and crafty men prove the wrath of God, neither shall they cry when they are bound.

14. Their soul shall die in a storm, and their life among the effeminate.

15. He shall deliver the poor out of his distress, and shall open his ear in affliction.

16. Therefore he shall set thee at large out of the narrow mouth, and which hath no foundation under it: and the rest of thy table shall be full of fatness.

17. Thy cause hath been judged as that of the wicked, cause and judgment thou shalt recover.

18. Therefore let not anger overcome thee to oppress any man: neither let multitude of gifts turn thee aside.

19. Lay down thy greatness without tribulation, and all the mighty of strength.

20. Prolong not the night that people may come up for them.

21. Beware thou turn not aside to iniquity: for this thou hast begun to follow after misery.

22. Behold, God is high in his strength, and none is like him among the lawgivers.

23. Who can search out his ways? or who can say to him: Thou has wrought iniquity?

24. Remember that thou knowest not his work, concerning which men have sung.

25. All men see him, every one beholdeth afar off.

26. Behold, God is great, exceeding our knowledge: the number of his years is inestimable.

27. He lifteth up the drops of rain, and poureth out showers like floods:

28. Which flow from the clouds that cover all above.

29. If he will spread out clouds as his tent,

30. And lighten with his light from above, he shall cover also the ends of the sea.
