He hath gold, and all the forces of power. 20Desire not the night, For the going up of peoples in their stead. 21Take heed--do not turn unto iniquity, For on this thou hast fixed Rather than on affliction. 22Lo, God doth sit on high by His power, Who is like Him--a teacher? 23Who hath appointed unto Him his way? And who said, `Thou hast done iniquity?' 24Remember that thou magnify His work That men have beheld. 25All men have looked on it, Man looketh attentively from afar. 26Lo, God is high, And we know not the number of His years, Yea, there is no searching. 27When He doth diminish droppings of the waters, They refine rain according to its vapour, 28Which clouds do drop, They distil on man abundantly. 29Yea, doth any understand The spreadings out of a cloud? The noises of His tabernacle? 30Lo, He hath spread over it His light, And the roots of the sea He hath covered, 31For by them He doth judge peoples, He giveth food in abundance. 32By two palms He hath covered the light, And layeth a charge over it in meeting, 33He sheweth by it to his friend substance, Anger against perversity. ‹Previous chapterJob 35Next chapterJob 37›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsJob 36 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
