1 # Elihu <0453> also proceeded <03254> (8686), and said <0559> (8799),
2 Suffer <03803> (8761) me a little <02191>, and I will shew <02331> (8762) thee that I have yet to speak <04405> on God's <0433> behalf.
3 I will fetch <05375> (8799) my knowledge <01843> from afar <07350>, and will ascribe <05414> (8799) righteousness <06664> to my Maker <06466> (8802).
4 For truly <0551> my words <04405> shall not be false <08267>: he that is perfect <08549> in knowledge <01844> is with thee.
5 # Behold, God <0410> is mighty <03524>, and despiseth <03988> (8799) not any: he is mighty <03524> in strength <03581> and wisdom <03820>.
6 He preserveth not the life <02421> (8762) of the wicked <07563>: but giveth <05414> (8799) right <04941> to the poor <06041>.
7 He withdraweth <01639> (8799) not his eyes <05869> from the righteous <06662>: but with kings <04428> are they on the throne <03678>; yea, he doth establish <03427> (8686) them for ever <05331>, and they are exalted <01361> (8799) .
8 And if they be bound <0631> (8803) in fetters <02131>, and be holden <03920> (8735) in cords <02256> of affliction <06040>;
9 Then he sheweth <05046> (8686) them their work <06467>, and their transgressions <06588> that they have exceeded <01396> (8691).
10 He openeth <01540> (8799) also their ear <0241> to discipline <04148>, and commandeth <0559> (8799) that they return <07725> (8799) from iniquity <0205>.
11 If they obey <08085> (8799) and serve <05647> (8799) him, they shall spend <03615> (8762) their days <03117> in prosperity <02896>, and their years <08141> in pleasures <05273>.
12 But if they obey <08085> (8799) not, they shall perish <05674> (8799) by the sword <07973>, and they shall die <01478> (8799) without knowledge <01847>.
13 But the hypocrites <02611> in heart <03820> heap up <07760> (8799) wrath <0639>: they cry <07768> (8762) not when he bindeth <0631> (8804) them.
14 They <05315> die <04191> (8799) in youth <05290>, and their life <02416> is among the unclean <06945>.
15 # He delivereth <02502> (8762) the poor <06041> in his affliction <06040>, and openeth <01540> (8799) their ears <0241> in oppression <03906>.
16 Even so would he have removed <05496> (8689) thee out of the strait <06310> <06862> into a broad place <07338> , where <08478> there is no straitness <04164>; and that which should be set <05183> on thy table <07979> should be full <04390> (8804) of fatness <01880>.
17 But thou hast fulfilled <04390> (8804) the judgment <01779> of the wicked <07563>: judgment <01779> and justice <04941> take hold <08551> (8799) on thee.
18 Because there is wrath <02534>, beware lest he take thee away <05496> (8686) with his stroke <05607> : then a great <07230> ransom <03724> cannot deliver <05186> (8686) thee.
19 Will he esteem <06186> (8799) thy riches <07769>? no, not gold <01222>, nor all the forces <03981> of strength <03581>.
20 Desire <07602> (8799) not the night <03915>, when people <05971> are cut off <05927> (8800) in their place.
21 Take heed <08104> (8734), regard <06437> (8799) not iniquity <0205>: for this hast thou chosen <0977> (8804) rather than affliction <06040>.
22 Behold, God <0410> exalteth <07682> (8686) by his power <03581>: who teacheth <03384> (8688) like him?
23 Who hath enjoined <06485> (8804) him his way <01870>? or who can say <0559> (8804), Thou hast wrought <06466> (8804) iniquity <05766>?
24 # Remember <02142> (8798) that thou magnify <07679> (8686) his work <06467>, which men <0582> behold <07891> (8790).
25 Every man <0120> may see <02372> (8804) it; man <0582> may behold <05027> (8686) it afar off <07350>.
26 Behold, God <0410> is great <07689>, and we know <03045> (8799) him not, neither can the number <04557> of his years <08141> be searched out <02714>.
27 For he maketh small <01639> (8762) the drops <05198> of water <04325>: they pour down <02212> (8799) rain <04306> according to the vapour <0108> thereof:
28 Which the clouds <07834> do drop <05140> (8799) and distil <07491> (8799) upon man <0120> abundantly <07227>.
29 Also can any understand <0995> (8799) the spreadings <04666> of the clouds <05645>, or the noise <08663> of his tabernacle <05521>?
30 Behold, he spreadeth <06566> (8804) his light <0216> upon it, and covereth <03680> (8765) the bottom <08328> of the sea <03220>.
31 For by them judgeth <01777> (8799) he the people <05971>; he giveth <05414> (8799) meat <0400> in abundance <04342> (8688).
32 With clouds <03709> he covereth <03680> (8765) the light <0216>; and commandeth <06680> (8762) it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt <06293> (8688).
33 The noise <07452> thereof sheweth <05046> (8686) concerning it, the cattle <04735> also concerning the vapour <05927> (8802).
