Job 36:14-29 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

14. They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.

15. He delivers the poor in his affliction, and opens their ears in oppression.

16. Even so would he have removed you out of the distress into a broad place, where there is no restraint; and that which should be set on your table should be full of richness.

17. But you have fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on you.

18. Because there is wrath, beware lest he take you away with one blow: then a great ransom cannot deliver you.

19. Will he esteem your riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.

20. Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.

21. Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this have you chosen rather than affliction.

22. Behold, God exalts by his power: who teaches like him?

23. Who has prescribed him his way? or who can say, You have worked iniquity?

24. Remember that you magnify his work, which men behold.

25. Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.

26. Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.

27. For he makes small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to its vapor:

28. Which the clouds do drop and pour upon man abundantly.

29. Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the thunder of his tabernacle?
