of affliction;° |

36:9
Then he showeth them their work, And their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly. |
|
36:9
Then he sheweth°°
them their work,°
and their transgressions°
that°
they have exceeded.°° |

If°
they obey°°
and serve°°
[him], they shall spend°°
their days°

36:13
But the hypocrites°
in heart°

wrath:°
they cry°°
not°
when°
he bindeth°°
them. |

Yea, he would have allured thee out of distress Into a broad place, where there is no straitness; And that which is set on thy table would be full of fatness. |
|
36:16
Even so°
would he have removed°°
thee out of the strait°°°

where°
[there is] no°
straitness;°

For let not wrath stir thee up against chastisements; Neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside. |
|
36:18
Because°
[there is] wrath,°
[beware] lest°
he take thee away°°
with [his] stroke:°
then a great°°
ransom°

36:23
Who°
hath enjoined°°°
him his way?°
or who°

36:27
For°
he maketh small°°
the drops°
of water:°
they pour down°°
rain°
according to the vapour°
thereof: |
|
36:28
Which the skies pour down And drop upon man abundantly. |

Which°
the clouds°

concerning°
the vapour.°° |
