Job 36:5-33 - God's Justice Is Beyond Human Understanding

5 Behold, God is mighty, and he will not despise: mighty in strength of heart 6 He will not save alive the unjust one, and he will give the judgment of the poor. 7 He will not take off his eyes from the just: and with kings upon the throne, and he will seat them for glory, and they shall be exalted.

8 And they being bound in fetters shall be taken in the cords of affliction. 9 And he will announce to them their work, and their transgressions, for they will be strong. 10 And he will uncover their ear for instruction, and he will say that they shall turn back from iniquity. 11 If they will hear and will serve him, they shall finish their days in good, and their years in delights. 12 And if they will not hear, they shall pass away by the spear, and they shall expire without knowledge.

13 And the profane of heart shall set up anger: they will not cry if he bound them. 14 Their soul will die in youth, and their life among the consecrated. 15 He will deliver the poor one in his affliction, and he will uncover their ear in oppression.

16 And also he moved thee from the mouth of the enemy to a broad, not straight place; and thy table came. down full of fatness. 17 And thou didst fill up the judgment of the unjust one; judgment and right shall hold together. 18 Because of wrath, lest he shall remove thee with smiting, and a multitude of covering shall not turn thee away. 19 Will he value thy riches? not gold and all the powers of thy strength. 20 Thou shalt not pant after the night, for taking up peoples in their place. 21 Watch thyself; thou shalt not turn to iniquity: for upon this thou didst choose rather than affliction.

22 Behold, God will exalt by his power: who teaches like him? 23 Who charged upon him his way? and who said, Thou didst iniquity? 24 Remember that thou shalt magnify his work which men beheld. 25 Every man looked upon it; man shall see from far off. 26 Behold, God is great, and we shall not know the number of his years, and it was not searched out 27 For he will withhold the drops of water: they will pour out rain for its vapor. 28 Which the clouds will shake out; they will drop an abundance upon man. 29 Also if he shall understand the spreadings of the cloud, the noise of his booth. 30 Behold, he spread upon it his light, and he covered the roots of the sea. 31 For by them he will judge the peoples; he will give food to abundance. 32 With the hands be covered the light; and he commanded concerning it with a mark. 33 His thunder will announce concerning him, and the flock also concerning the going up.
