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.
7
He
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.
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.
11
If
they
obey
and
serve
[him],
they
shall
spend
their
days
in
prosperity,
and
their
years
in
pleasures.
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.
16
Even
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.
17
But
thou
hast
fulfilled
the
judgment
of
the
wicked:
judgment
and
justice
take
hold
[on
thee].
18
Because
[there
is]
wrath,
[beware]
lest
he
take
thee
away
with
[his]
stroke:
then
a
great
ransom
cannot
deliver
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.
32
With
clouds
he
covereth
the
light;
and
commandeth
it
[not
to
shine]
by
[the
cloud]
that
cometh
betwixt.
33
The
noise
thereof
sheweth
concerning
it,
the
cattle
also
concerning
the
vapour.
