Notes on this text (1)
LXX Brenton's Greek Septuagint
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Προσθεὶς δὲ ἔτι Ἐλιοὺς, λέγει,
1 Elihu also continued, and said,
2 Μεῖνόν με μικρὸν ἔτι, ἵνα διδάξω σε· ἔτι γὰρ ἐν ἐμοί ἐστι λέξις.
2 “Bear with me a little, and I will show you; for I still have something to say on God’s behalf.
3 Ἀναλαβὼν τὴν ἐπιστήμην μου μακράν, ἔργοις δέ μου δίκαια ἐρῶ ἐπʼ ἀληθείας,
3 I will get my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
4 καὶ οὐκ ἄδικα ῥήματα ἀδίκως συνιεῖς.
4 For truly my words are not false. One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.
5 Γίνωσκε δὲ, ὅτι ὁ Κύριος οὐ μὴ ἀποποιήσηται τὸν ἄκακον, δυνατὸς ἰσχύϊ καρδίας
5 “Behold, God is mighty, and doesn’t despise anyone. He is mighty in strength of understanding.
6 ἀσεβῆ οὐ μὴ ζωοποιήσῃ, καὶ κρίμα πτωχῶν δώσει.
6 He doesn’t preserve the life of the wicked, but gives justice to the afflicted.
7 Οὐκ ἀφελεῖ ἀπὸ δικαίου ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ μετὰ βασιλέων εἰς θρόνον, καὶ καθιεῖ αὐτοὺς εἰς νῖκος, καὶ ὑψωθήσονται.
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 Καὶ οἱ πεπεδημένοι ἐν χειροπέδαις, συσχεθήσονται ἐν σχοινίοις πενίας.
8 If they are bound in fetters, and are taken in the cords of afflictions,
9 Καὶ ἀναγγελεῖ αὐτοῖς τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ παραπτώματα αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἰσχύσουσιν.
9 then he shows them their work, and their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.
10 Ἀλλὰ τοῦ δικαίου εἰσακούσεται· καὶ εἶπεν ὅτι ἐπιστραφήσονται ἐξ ἀδικίας.
10 He also opens their ears to instruction, and commands that they return from iniquity.
11 Ἐὰν ἀκούσωσι, καὶ δουλεύσωσι, συντελέσουσι τὰς ἡμέρας αὐτῶν ἐν ἀγαθοῖς, καὶ τὰ ἔτη αὐτῶν ἐν εὐπρεπείαις.
11 If they listen and serve him, they will spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
12 Ἀσεβεῖς δὲ οὐ διασώζει, παρὰ τὸ μὴ βούλεσθαι αὐτοὺς εἰδέναι τὸν Κύριον, καὶ διότι νουθετούμενοι ἀνήκοοι ἦσαν.
12 But if they don’t listen, they will perish by the sword; they will die without knowledge.
13 Καὶ ὑποκριταὶ καρδίᾳ τάξουσι θυμόν, οὐ βοήσονται, ὅτι ἔδησεν αὐτούς.
13 “But those who are godless in heart lay up anger. They don’t cry for help when he binds them.
14 Ἀποθάνοι τοίνυν ἐν νεότητι ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτῶν, ἡ δὲ ζωὴ αὐτῶν τιτρωσκομένη ὑπὸ ἀγγέλων,
14 They die in youth. Their life perishes among the unclean.
15 ἀνθʼ ὧν ἔθλιψαν ἀσθενῆ καὶ ἀδύνατον, κρίμα δὲ πραέων ἐκθήσει.
15 He delivers the afflicted by their affliction, and opens their ear in oppression.
16 Καὶ προσεπιηπάτησέ σε ἐκ στόματος ἐχθροῦ, ἄβυσσος κατάχυσις ὑποκάτω αὐτῆς, καὶ κατέβη τράπεζά σου πλήρης πιότητος.
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 Οὐχ ὑστερήσει δὲ ἀπὸ δικαίων κρίμα,
17 “But you are full of the judgment of the wicked. Judgment and justice take hold of you.
18 θυμὸς δὲ ἐπʼ ἀσεβεῖς ἔσται, διʼ ἀσέβειαν δώρων ὧν ἐδέχοντο ἐπʼ ἀδικίαις.
18 Don’t let riches entice you to wrath, neither let the great size of a bribe turn you aside.
19 Μή σε ἐκκλινάτω ἑκὼν ὁ νοῦς δεήσεως ἐν ἀνάγκῃ ὄντων ἀδυνάτων,
19 Would your wealth sustain you in distress, or all the might of your strength?
20 καὶ πάντας τοὺς κραταιοῦντας ἰσχὺν μὴ ἐξελκύσῃς τὴν νύκτα, τοῦ ἀναβῆναι λαοὺς ἀντʼ αὐτῶν,
20 Don’t desire the night, when people are cut off in their place.
21 ἀλλὰ φύλαξαι μὴ πράξῃς ἄτοκα· ἐπὶ τοὺτων γὰρ ἐξείλω ἀπὸ πτωχείας.
21 Take heed, don’t regard iniquity; for you have chosen this rather than affliction.
22 Ἰδοὺ ὁ ἰσχυρὸς κραταιώσει ἐν ἰσχύι αὐτοῦ· τίς γάρ ἐστι κατʼ αὐτὸν δυνάστης;
22 Behold, God is exalted in his power. Who is a teacher like him?
23 Τίς δέ ἐστιν ὁ ἐτάζων αὐτοῦ τὰ ἔργα; ἢ τίς ὁ εἰπὼν, ἔπραξεν ἄδικα;
23 Who has prescribed his way for him? Or who can say, ‘You have committed unrighteousness’?
24 Μνήσθητι, ὅτι μεγάλα ἐστὶν αὐτοῦ τὰ ἔργα, ὧν ἦρξαν ἄνδρες.
24 “Remember that you magnify his work, about which men have sung.
25 Πᾶς ἄνθρωπος εἶδεν ἐν ἑαυτῷ, ὅσοι τιτρωσκόμενοί εἰσι βροτοί.
25 All men have looked on it. Man sees it afar off.
26 Ἰδοὺ ὁ ἰσχυρὸς πολύς, καὶ οὐ γνωσόμεθα· ἀριθμὸς ἐτῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπέραντος.
26 Behold, God is great, and we don’t know him. The number of his years is unsearchable.
27 Ἀριθμηταὶ δὲ αὐτῷ σταγόνες ὑετοῦ, καὶ ἐπιχυθήσονται ὑετῷ εἰς νεφέλην.
27 For he draws up the drops of water, which distill in rain from his vapor,
28 Ῥυήσονται παλαιώματα, ἐσκίασε δὲ νέφη ἐπὶ ἀμυθήτῳ βροτῷ·
28 which the skies pour down and which drop on man abundantly.
28a ὥραν ἔθετο κτήνεσιν, οἴδασι δὲ κοίτης τάξιν·
·
28b ἐπὶ τούτοις πᾶσιν οὐκ ἐξίσταταί σου ἡ διάνοια, οὐδὲ διαλλάσσεταί σου ἡ καρδία ἀπὸ σώματος.
·
29 Καὶ ἐὰν συνῇ ἐπεκτάσεις νεφέλης, ἰσότητα σκηνῆς αὐτοῦ,
29 Indeed, can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds and the thunderings of his pavilion?
30 ἰδοὺ ἐκτενεῖ ἐπʼ αὐτὸν ἠδὼ, καὶ ῥιζώματα τῆς θαλάσσης ἐκάλυψεν.
30 Behold, he spreads his light around him. He covers the bottom of the sea.
31 Ἐν γὰρ αὐτοῖς κρινεῖ λαούς, δώσει τροφὴν τῷ ἰσχύοντι.
31 For by these he judges the people. He gives food in abundance.
32 Ἐπὶ χειρῶν ἐκάλυψε φῶς, καὶ ἐνετείλατο περὶ αὐτῆς ἐν ἀπαντῶντι.
32 He covers his hands with the lightning, and commands it to strike the mark.
33 Ἀναγγελεῖ περὶ αὐτοῦ φίλον αὐτοῦ Κύριος, κτῆσι καὶ περὶ ἀδικίας.
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).

  1. Quotes verse 36:27 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture VI)

    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.

  2. Quotes verse 36:27 Basil of Caesarea, Hexaemeron (Homily III)

    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.
