Job 36:3Having fetched my knowledge from afar, and according to my works,
Job 36:4I will speak just things truly, and thou shalt not unjustly receive unjust words.
Job 36:5But know that the Lord will not cast off an innocent man: being mighty in strength of wisdom,
Job 36:6he will not by any means save alive the ungodly: and he will grant the judgment of the poor.

Job 36:11If they should hear and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in honour.

Job 36:14Therefore let their soul die in youth, and their life be wounded by messengers of death.
Job 36:15Because they afflicted the weak and helpless: and he will vindicate the judgment of the meek.
Job 36:16And he has also enticed thee out of the mouth of the enemy:
Job 36:17 there is a deep gulf and a rushing stream beneath it, and thy table came down full of fatness. Judgment shall not fail from the righteous;
Job 36:18but there shall be wrath upon the ungodly, by reason of the ungodliness of the bribes which they received for iniquities.
Job 36:19Let not thy mind willingly turn thee aside from the petition of the feeble that are in distress.

Job 36:27And the drops of rain are numbered by him, and shall be poured out in rain to form a cloud.
Job 36:28The ancient heavens shall flow, and the clouds overshadow innumerable mortals:
Job 36:29And though one should understand the outspreadings of the clouds, or the measure of his tabernacle;
Job 36:30behold he will stretch his bow against him, and he covers the bottom of the sea.
Job 36:31For by them he will judge the nations: he will give food to him that has strength.
Job 36:32He has hidden the light in his hands, and given charge concerning it to the interposing cloud.
Job 36:33The Lord will declare concerning this to his friend: but there is a portion also for unrighteousness.
