1Elihu also proceeded, and said,studyinterlinear
2Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God’s behalf.studyinterlinear
3I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.studyinterlinear
4For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.studyinterlinear
5Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.studyinterlinear
6He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor.studyinterlinear
7He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.studyinterlinear
8And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;studyinterlinear
9Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.studyinterlinear
10He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.studyinterlinear
11If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.studyinterlinear
12But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.studyinterlinear
13But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them.studyinterlinear
14They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.studyinterlinear
15He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.studyinterlinear
16Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness.studyinterlinear
17But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee.studyinterlinear
18Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.studyinterlinear
19Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.studyinterlinear
20Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.studyinterlinear
21Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.studyinterlinear
22Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?studyinterlinear
23Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?studyinterlinear
24Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.studyinterlinear
25Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.studyinterlinear
26Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.studyinterlinear
27For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:studyinterlinear
28Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.studyinterlinear
29Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?studyinterlinear
30Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.studyinterlinear
31For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance.studyinterlinear
32With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.studyinterlinear
33The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.studyinterlinear
