Tree Of Life Version

Job 36:15-31 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

15. He delivers the afflicted by his affliction and opens their ear in oppression.

16. “And indeed, He will draw you from the mouth of distress, to a spacious place without constraint, and the comfort of a table full of rich food.

17. But you are full of judgment on the wicked, judgment and justice take hold of you!

18. Beware lest wrath entice you with riches; or a large bribe turn you aside.

19. Will your wealth sustain you to keep you from distress, or even all your mighty efforts?

20. Do not long for the night, when people vanish from their places.

21. Be careful, do not turn to iniquity; for you have chosen this rather than affliction.

22. “Indeed, God is exalted in His power. Who is a teacher like Him?

23. Who has prescribed His way for Him? Or said ‘You have done wrong’?

24. Remember to magnify His work, of which people have sung.

25. All mankind has seen it; people gaze on it from afar.

26. Behold, God is exalted —beyond our knowledge! The number of His years is unsearchable.

27. For He draws up the drops of water; they distill rain into its mist,

28. which the clouds pour down and shower mankind abundantly.

29. Indeed, who can understand the spreading of the clouds, and the thunder from His pavilion?

30. “See how He scatters His lightning about Him, covering the depths of the sea.

31. For by these, He judges peoples and supplies food in abundance.
