1 Elihu also proceeded, and said,
2 Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God's behalf.
3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
4 For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.
5 Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.
6 He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor.
8 And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;
9 Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.
10 He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.
12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
13 But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them.
14 They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
15 He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.
17 But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee.
19 Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.
20 Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.
21 Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
22 Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
23 Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?
24 Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.
25 Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.
26 Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
27 For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:
28 Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.
29 Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?
30 Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.
31 For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance.
33 The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.

Chris's Job Chapter 36 comment about verse 14 on 5/31/2022, 1:39am...
Hi Jose. I can't speak of 'other Bible translations' as they may add extra words to give a particular verse an 'appropriate' meaning. But in the KJV, we read it as given in Hebrew: "the noise (thunder) is declared, the cattle also concerning the rising (storm)." Words in brackets are assumed from the previous text.
If translations are assuming 'God's Indignation', then it's probably how they read the chapter spoken by Elihu. Though, verse 33 on its own, seems to show that God speaks to man even through nature (the light, clouds, thunder, darkness), even the cattle are alerted.
Jose's Job Chapter 36 comment about verse 14 on 5/30/2022, 8:15am...
Hello. Job 36:33 translates differently from other meaning from other Bible translations where it speaks that when it thunders it means God is angry and speaks of His indignation. Why the different meanings when KJV does not mention anything about God's indignation pertaining to Job 36:33? Thank you.
