Job 36:20-33 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

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.

31. For by these he judgeth people, and giveth food to many mortals.

32. In his hands he hideth the light, and commandeth it to come again.

33. He sheweth his friend concerning it, that it is his possession, and that he may come up to it.
