18:036:003 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker. 18:036:004 For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee. 18:036:005 Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom. 18:036:006 He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor. 18:036:007 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted. 18:036:008 And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction; 18:036:009 Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded. 18:036:010 He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity. 18:036:011 If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. 18:036:012 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge. 18:036:013 But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them. 18:036:014 They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean. 18:036:015 He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression. 18:036:016 Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness. 18:036:017 But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee. 18:036:018 Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee. 18:036:019 Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength. 18:036:020 Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place. 18:036:021 Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction. 18:036:022 Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him? 18:036:023 Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity? 18:036:024 Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold. 18:036:025 Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off. 18:036:026 Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out. 18:036:027 For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof: 18:036:028 Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly. 18:036:029 Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle? 18:036:030 Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.
