Job 36

Job 36:13

They cry not when he bindeth them.

When he afflicteth them, they do not humble themselves under the hand of God, and repent them of their sins.

Job 36:20

Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.

Do not thou wish for night, as thinking that that silent and quiet time might give thee ease from thy thoughts; while thou hast to do with a God, that can in an instant cut off whole nations, much more thee, who art one weak and frail man.

Job 36:21

For this hast thou rather chosen than affliction.

Thou hast rather chosen to tax the proceedings of God in thy weak impatience, than meekly to suffer his affliction.

Job 36:30

Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.

Behold, when the heaven is overcast with clouds, he sendeth forth his bright beams, and enlighteneth and cheereth the face thereof; and again sendeth such gloomy and dark clouds, as that the blackness and obscurity thereof shadeth even to the bottom of the sea.

Job 36:33

The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.

The noise of thunder, which is in the cloud, sheweth and presageth the rain, which will pour down from it; and the very cattle have a kind of notice, and give a certain intimation, by signs and tokens, of the falling of that moist vapour.
