Read in context

Job 36:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

2 “Bear with me a little longer, and I will show you that there is more to be said on God’s behalf.

3 I get my knowledge from afar, and I will ascribe justice to my Maker.

4 For truly my words are free of falsehood; one perfect in knowledge is with you.

5 Indeed, God is mighty, but He despises no one; He is mighty in strength of understanding.

6 He does not keep the wicked alive, but He grants justice to the afflicted.
