Notes on this text (3)
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- Exodus 36–39 follow the Septuagint's order; the digital source has no verse divisions there, so Exodus 36:8–end and chapters 37, 38 and 39 each appear as one block.
- Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.

1 Приложи́въ же є҆щѐ є҆лїꙋ́съ, речѐ:
1 Elihu also continued, and said,
2 пожди́ ми ма́лѡ є҆щѐ, да тѧ̀ наꙋчꙋ̀: є҆ще́ бо ᲂу҆ менє̀ є҆́сть сло́во.
2 “Bear with me a little, and I will show you; for I still have something to say on God’s behalf.
3 Прїи́мъ хи́трость мою̀ ѿдале́ча, дѣ́лы же мои́ми пра́вєднаѧ рекꙋ̀ вои́стиннꙋ:
3 I will get my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
4 и҆ не непра́вєдны глаго́лы без̾ пра́вды ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́еши.
4 For truly my words are not false. One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.
5 Ви́ждь же, ꙗ҆́кѡ гдⷭ҇ь не ѿри́нетъ неѕло́бивагѡ:
5 “Behold, God is mighty, and doesn’t despise anyone. He is mighty in strength of understanding.
6 си́ленъ крѣ́постїю сердца̀ нечести́выхъ не ѡ҆живи́тъ и҆ сꙋ́дъ ни́щымъ да́стъ,
6 He doesn’t preserve the life of the wicked, but gives justice to the afflicted.
7 не ѿи́метъ ѿ правди́вагѡ ѻ҆че́съ свои́хъ, и҆ со цари̑ на престо́лѣ посади́тъ и҆̀хъ на побѣ́дꙋ, и҆ вознесꙋ́тсѧ.
7 He doesn’t withdraw his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne, he sets them forever, and they are exalted.
8 Свѧ́заннїи въ рꙋчны́хъ ᲂу҆́захъ ꙗ҆́ти бꙋ́дꙋтъ ᲂу҆́жами нищеты̀,
8 If they are bound in fetters, and are taken in the cords of afflictions,
9 и҆ возвѣсти́тъ и҆̀мъ дѣла̀ и҆́хъ и҆ прегрѣше́нїе и҆́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆крѣпѧ́тсѧ:
9 then he shows them their work, and their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.
10 но правди́ваго ᲂу҆слы́шитъ, и҆ речѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆братѧ́тсѧ ѿ непра́вды.
10 He also opens their ears to instruction, and commands that they return from iniquity.
11 А҆́ще ᲂу҆слы́шатъ и҆ порабо́таютъ, сконча́ютъ дни̑ своѧ̑ во благи́хъ и҆ лѣ̑та своѧ̑ въ благолѣ́потѣ:
11 If they listen and serve him, they will spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
12 нечести́выхъ же не спасе́тъ, занѐ не хотѣ́ша позна́ти гдⷭ҇а и҆ зане́же ᲂу҆чи́ми не послꙋшли́ви бѣ́ша.
12 But if they don’t listen, they will perish by the sword; they will die without knowledge.
13 И҆ лицемѣ́ри се́рдцемъ возмꙋтѧ́тъ ꙗ҆́рость: не возопїю́тъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ свѧза̀ и҆̀хъ:
13 “But those who are godless in heart lay up anger. They don’t cry for help when he binds them.
14 да ᲂу҆́мретъ ᲂу҆̀бо въ ю҆́ности дꙋша̀ и҆́хъ, житїе́ же и҆́хъ ᲂу҆ѧзвлѧ́емо а҆́гг҃лы,
14 They die in youth. Their life perishes among the unclean.
15 зане́же ѡ҆скорби́ша недꙋ́жна и҆ не́мощна, сꙋ́дъ же кро́ткихъ и҆зложи́тъ.
15 He delivers the afflicted by their affliction, and opens their ear in oppression.
16 Є҆ще́ же и҆сто́ргнꙋ тѧ̀ ѿ ᲂу҆́стъ вра́жїихъ: бе́здна, проли́тїе под̾ не́ю, и҆ сни́де трапе́за твоѧ̀ и҆спо́лнена тꙋ́ка.
16 Yes, he would have allured you out of distress, into a wide place, where there is no restriction. That which is set on your table would be full of fatness.
17 Не ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́етъ же ѿ пра́ведныхъ сꙋ́дъ:
17 “But you are full of the judgment of the wicked. Judgment and justice take hold of you.
18 ꙗ҆́рость же на нечести̑выѧ бꙋ́детъ, нече́стїѧ ра́ди дарѡ́въ и҆́хъ, и҆̀хже прїима́хꙋ на непра́вдѣ.
18 Don’t let riches entice you to wrath, neither let the great size of a bribe turn you aside.
19 Да не ᲂу҆клони́тъ тѧ̀ во́лею ᲂу҆́мъ ѿ мольбы̀ въ бѣдѣ̀ сꙋ́щихъ немощны́хъ и҆ всѣ́хъ содержа́щихъ крѣ́пость.
19 Would your wealth sustain you in distress, or all the might of your strength?
20 Не привлецы̀ но́щи, є҆́же взы́ти лю́демъ вмѣ́стѡ и҆́хъ:
20 Don’t desire the night, when people are cut off in their place.
21 но сохрани́сѧ, да не содѣ́еши ѕла̀: си́хъ бо ра́ди и҆з̾ѧ́тъ є҆сѝ ѿ нищеты̀.
21 Take heed, don’t regard iniquity; for you have chosen this rather than affliction.
22 Сѐ, крѣ́пкїй ᲂу҆держи́тъ крѣ́постїю свое́ю: кто́ бо є҆́сть, ꙗ҆́коже то́й, си́ленъ;
22 Behold, God is exalted in his power. Who is a teacher like him?
23 и҆ кто̀ є҆́сть и҆спытꙋ́ѧй дѣ́лъ є҆гѡ̀; и҆лѝ кто̀ рекі́й: содѣ́ѧ непра́вдꙋ;
23 Who has prescribed his way for him? Or who can say, ‘You have committed unrighteousness’?
24 Помѧнѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ вє́лїѧ дѣла̀ є҆гѡ̀ сꙋ́ть, и҆́миже владѣ́ша мꙋ́жїе.
24 “Remember that you magnify his work, about which men have sung.
25 Всѧ́къ человѣ́къ ви́дитъ въ себѣ̀, є҆ли́цы ᲂу҆ѧзвлѧ́еми сꙋ́ть человѣ́цы.
25 All men have looked on it. Man sees it afar off.
26 Сѐ, крѣ́пкїй вели́кїй, и҆ не ᲂу҆вѣ́мы: число̀ лѣ́тъ є҆гѡ̀ безконе́чное:
26 Behold, God is great, and we don’t know him. The number of his years is unsearchable.
27 и҆зочтє́нны же є҆мꙋ̀ сꙋ́ть ка̑пли дождє́вныѧ, и҆ и҆злїю́тсѧ дожде́мъ во ѡ҆́блакъ:
27 For he draws up the drops of water, which distill in rain from his vapor,
28 потекꙋ́тъ ѡ҆бетша̑нїѧ, ѡ҆сѣни́ша же ѡ҆́блацы над̾ премно́гими людьмѝ: вре́мѧ поста́ви скотꙋ̀, вѣ́дѧтъ же ло́жа чи́нъ. Ѡ҆ всѣ́хъ си́хъ не диви́тлитисѧ ᲂу҆́мъ, и҆ не и҆змѣнѧ́етлисѧ тѝ се́рдце ѿ тѣ́ла;
28 which the skies pour down and which drop on man abundantly.
29 И҆ а҆́ще ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́етъ просте́ртїе ѡ҆́блака, ра́венство ски́нїи є҆гѡ̀:
29 Indeed, can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds and the thunderings of his pavilion?
30 сѐ, простира́етъ на ню̀ свѣ́тъ и҆ корє́нїѧ морска̑ѧ покры̀:
30 Behold, he spreads his light around him. He covers the bottom of the sea.
31 тѣ́ми бо сꙋ́дитъ лю́демъ, да́стъ пи́щꙋ могꙋ́щемꙋ.
31 For by these he judges the people. He gives food in abundance.
32 На рꙋкꙋ̀ покры̀ свѣ́тъ и҆ заповѣ́да ѡ҆ не́мъ срѣта́ющемꙋ:
32 He covers his hands with the lightning, and commands it to strike the mark.
33 возвѣсти́тъ ѡ҆ не́мъ дрꙋ́гꙋ своемꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ь, стѧжа́нїе, и҆ ѡ҆ непра́вдѣ.
33 Its noise tells about him, and the livestock also, concerning the storm that comes up.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Learn then thine own weakness; learn from this instance the mightiness of God: for He hath numbered the drops of rain, which have been poured down on all the earth, not only now but in all time.
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 2, vol. 7 (1894)
He who planned all with weight and measure, He who, according to the word of Job, knows the number of the drops of rain, knew how long His work would last, and for how much consumption of fire He ought to allow.
