Job 36

About Job Job wrestles with why the righteous suffer, through Job's losses, his friends' arguments and God's answer.

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.SelectedJob 36:7Ask

And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;SelectedJob 36:8Ask

Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.SelectedJob 36:9Ask

He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.SelectedJob 36:10Ask

He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.SelectedJob 36:15Ask

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.SelectedJob 36:16Ask

But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee.SelectedJob 36:17Ask

Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.SelectedJob 36:18Ask

Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.SelectedJob 36:28Ask
