Job 36:18 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 36:18

16 “Indeed He would have brought you out of dire distress,
^aInto a broad place where there is no restraint;
And ^bwhat is set on your table would be full of ^crichness.

17 But you are filled with the judgment due the ^awicked;
Judgment and justice take hold of you.

18 Because there is wrath, beware lest He take you away with one blow;
For ^aa large ransom would not help you avoid it.

19 ^aWill your riches,
Or all the mighty forces,
Keep you from distress?

20 Do not desire the night,
When people are cut off in their place.

21 Take heed, ^ado not turn to iniquity,
For ^byou have chosen this rather than affliction.

22 “Behold, God is exalted by His power;
Who teaches like Him?

23 ^aWho has assigned Him His way,
Or who has said, ‘You have done ^bwrong’?

Elihu Proclaims God’s Majesty

24 “Remember to ^amagnify His work,
Of which men have sung.

25 Everyone has seen it;
Man looks on it from afar.

26 “Behold, God is great, and we ^ado not know Him;
^bNor can the number of His years be discovered.

27 For He ^adraws up drops of water,
Which distill as rain from the mist,

28 ^aWhich the clouds drop down
And pour abundantly on man.
