Job 36
Reina-Valera 1960
Eliú exalta la grandeza de Dios
36 Añadió Eliú y dijo:
2 Espérame un poco, y te enseñaré;
Porque todavía tengo razones en defensa de Dios.
3 Tomaré mi saber desde lejos,
Y atribuiré justicia a mi Hacedor.
4 Porque de cierto no son mentira mis palabras;
Contigo está el que es íntegro en sus conceptos.
5 He aquí que Dios es grande, pero no desestima a nadie;
Es poderoso en fuerza de sabiduría.
6 No otorgará vida al impío,
Pero a los afligidos dará su derecho.
7 No apartará de los justos sus ojos;
Antes bien con los reyes los pondrá en trono para siempre,
Y serán exaltados.
8 Y si estuvieren prendidos en grillos,
Y aprisionados en las cuerdas de aflicción,
9 Él les dará a conocer la obra de ellos,
Y que prevalecieron sus rebeliones.
10 Despierta además el oído de ellos para la corrección,
Y les dice que se conviertan de la iniquidad.
11 Si oyeren, y le sirvieren,
Acabarán sus días en bienestar,
Y sus años en dicha.
12 Pero si no oyeren, serán pasados a espada,
Y perecerán sin sabiduría.
13 Mas los hipócritas de corazón atesoran para sí la ira,
Y no clamarán cuando él los atare.
14 Fallecerá el alma de ellos en su juventud,
Y su vida entre los sodomitas.
15 Al pobre librará de su pobreza,
Y en la aflicción despertará su oído.
16 Asimismo te apartará de la boca de la angustia
A lugar espacioso, libre de todo apuro,
Y te preparará mesa llena de grosura.
17 Mas tú has llenado el juicio del impío,
En vez de sustentar el juicio y la justicia.
18 Por lo cual teme, no sea que en su ira te quite con golpe,
El cual no puedas apartar de ti con gran rescate.
19 ¿Hará él estima de tus riquezas, del oro,
O de todas las fuerzas del poder?
20 No anheles la noche,
En que los pueblos desaparecen de su lugar.
21 Guárdate, no te vuelvas a la iniquidad;
Pues esta escogiste más bien que la aflicción.
22 He aquí que Dios es excelso en su poder;
¿Qué enseñador semejante a él?
23 ¿Quién le ha prescrito su camino?
¿Y quién le dirá: Has hecho mal?
24 Acuérdate de engrandecer su obra,
La cual contemplan los hombres.
25 Los hombres todos la ven;
La mira el hombre de lejos.
26 He aquí, Dios es grande, y nosotros no le conocemos,
Ni se puede seguir la huella de sus años.
27 Él atrae las gotas de las aguas,
Al transformarse el vapor en lluvia,
28 La cual destilan las nubes,
Goteando en abundancia sobre los hombres.
29 ¿Quién podrá comprender la extensión de las nubes,
Y el sonido estrepitoso de su morada?
30 He aquí que sobre él extiende su luz,
Y cobija con ella las profundidades del mar.
31 Bien que por esos medios castiga a los pueblos,
A la multitud él da sustento.
32 Con las nubes encubre la luz,
Y le manda no brillar, interponiendo aquellas.
33 El trueno declara su indignación,
Y la tempestad proclama su ira contra la iniquidad.

Elihu Speaks of God’s Dealings with Mankind
36 Then Elihu continued and said,
2 “Wait for me a little, and I will show you
That there [a]is still more to be said on God’s behalf.
3 I will bring my knowledge from afar,
And ascribe (A)righteousness to my Maker.
4 For truly (B)my words are not false;
One who is (C)perfect in knowledge is with you.
5 Behold, God is mighty but does not (D)reject anyone;
He is (E)mighty in strength of understanding.
6 He does not (F)keep the wicked alive,
But gives justice to (G)the afflicted.
7 He does not (H)withdraw His eyes from the righteous,
But (I)with kings on the throne
He has seated them forever, and they are exalted.
8 And if they are bound in shackles,
And are caught in the snares of (J)misery,
9 Then He declares to them their work
And their wrongdoings, that they have (K)been arrogant.
10 (L)He opens their ears to instruction,
And (M)commands that they return from injustice.
11 If they listen and serve Him,
They will (N)end their days in prosperity,
And their years in (O)happiness.
12 But if they do not listen, they will [b]perish (P)by the sword,
And (Q)die without knowledge.
13 But the godless in heart nurture anger;
They do not call for help when He binds them.
14 [c]They die in youth,
And their life perishes among the (R)cult prostitutes.
15 He rescues the afflicted in [d]their (S)misery,
And (T)opens their ears in time of oppression.
16 Then indeed, He induced you away from the mouth of distress,
And instead of it, a broad place with no constraint;
And your table was full of [e]rich food.
17 “But you were full of (U)judgment on the wicked;
Judgment and justice take hold of you.
18 Beware that (V)wrath does not entice you to mockery;
And do not let the greatness of the (W)ransom turn you aside.
19 Will your cry for help keep you from distress,
Or all the exertions of your strength?
20 Do not long for (X)the night,
When people [f]vanish in their places.
21 Be careful, do (Y)not turn to evil,
For you preferred this to (Z)misery.
22 Behold, God is exalted in His power;
Who is a (AA)teacher like Him?
23 Who has appointed Him His way,
And who has said, ‘(AB)You have done wrong’?
24 “Remember that you are to (AC)exalt His work,
Of which people have (AD)sung.
25 All people have seen it;
Mankind looks at it from afar.
26 Behold, God is (AE)exalted, and (AF)we do not know Him;
The (AG)number of His years is unsearchable.
27 For (AH)He draws up the drops of water;
They distill rain from its [g]celestial stream,
28 Which clouds pour down;
They drip upon mankind abundantly.
29 Can anyone understand the (AI)spreading of the clouds,
The (AJ)thundering of His [h]pavilion?
30 Behold, He spreads His [i]lightning about Him,
And He covers the depths of the sea.
31 For by them He (AK)judges peoples;
He (AL)gives food in abundance.
32 He covers His hands with the [j]lightning,
And (AM)commands it to strike the target.
33 Its (AN)thundering voice declares [k]His presence;
The livestock also, concerning what is coming up.

New International Version
36 Elihu continued:
2 “Bear with me a little longer and I will show you
that there is more to be said in God’s behalf.
3 I get my knowledge from afar;(A)
I will ascribe justice to my Maker.(B)
4 Be assured that my words are not false;(C)
one who has perfect knowledge(D) is with you.(E)
5 “God is mighty,(F) but despises no one;(G)
he is mighty, and firm in his purpose.(H)
6 He does not keep the wicked alive(I)
but gives the afflicted their rights.(J)
7 He does not take his eyes off the righteous;(K)
he enthrones them with kings(L)
and exalts them forever.(M)
8 But if people are bound in chains,(N)
held fast by cords of affliction,(O)
9 he tells them what they have done—
that they have sinned arrogantly.(P)
10 He makes them listen(Q) to correction(R)
and commands them to repent of their evil.(S)
11 If they obey and serve him,(T)
they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity(U)
and their years in contentment.(V)
12 But if they do not listen,
they will perish by the sword[a](W)
and die without knowledge.(X)
13 “The godless in heart(Y) harbor resentment;(Z)
even when he fetters them, they do not cry for help.(AA)
14 They die in their youth,(AB)
among male prostitutes of the shrines.(AC)
15 But those who suffer(AD) he delivers in their suffering;(AE)
he speaks(AF) to them in their affliction.(AG)
16 “He is wooing(AH) you from the jaws of distress
to a spacious place(AI) free from restriction,(AJ)
to the comfort of your table(AK) laden with choice food.(AL)
17 But now you are laden with the judgment due the wicked;(AM)
judgment and justice have taken hold of you.(AN)
18 Be careful that no one entices you by riches;
do not let a large bribe(AO) turn you aside.(AP)
19 Would your wealth(AQ) or even all your mighty efforts
sustain you so you would not be in distress?
20 Do not long for the night,(AR)
to drag people away from their homes.[b]
21 Beware of turning to evil,(AS)
which you seem to prefer to affliction.(AT)
22 “God is exalted in his power.(AU)
Who is a teacher like him?(AV)
23 Who has prescribed his ways(AW) for him,(AX)
or said to him, ‘You have done wrong’?(AY)
24 Remember to extol his work,(AZ)
which people have praised in song.(BA)
25 All humanity has seen it;(BB)
mortals gaze on it from afar.
26 How great is God—beyond our understanding!(BC)
The number of his years is past finding out.(BD)
27 “He draws up the drops of water,(BE)
which distill as rain to the streams[c];(BF)
28 the clouds pour down their moisture
and abundant showers(BG) fall on mankind.(BH)
29 Who can understand how he spreads out the clouds,
how he thunders(BI) from his pavilion?(BJ)
30 See how he scatters his lightning(BK) about him,
bathing the depths of the sea.(BL)
31 This is the way he governs[d] the nations(BM)
and provides food(BN) in abundance.(BO)
32 He fills his hands with lightning
and commands it to strike its mark.(BP)
33 His thunder announces the coming storm;(BQ)
even the cattle make known its approach.[e](BR)
