ElihuH453 also proceededH3254, and saidH559,2SufferH3803 me a littleH2191, and I will shewH2331 thee that I have yet to speakH4405 on God'sH433 behalf.3I will fetchH5375 my knowledgeH1843 from afarH7350, and will ascribeH5414 righteousnessH6664 to my MakerH6466.4For trulyH551 my wordsH4405 shall not be falseH8267: he that is perfectH8549 in knowledgeH1844 is with thee.5Behold, GodH410 is mightyH3524, and despisethH3988 not any: he is mightyH3524 in strengthH3581 and wisdomH3820.6He preserveth not the lifeH2421 of the wickedH7563: but givethH5414 rightH4941 to the poorH6041.7He withdrawethH1639 not his eyesH5869 from the righteousH6662: but with kingsH4428 are they on the throneH3678; yea, he doth establishH3427 them for everH5331, and they are exaltedH1361.8And if they be boundH631 in fettersH2131, and be holdenH3920 in cordsH2256 of afflictionH6040;9Then he shewethH5046 them their workH6467, and their transgressionsH6588 that they have exceededH1396.10He openethH1540 also their earH241 to disciplineH4148, and commandethH559 that they returnH7725 from iniquityH205.11If they obeyH8085 and serveH5647 him, they shall spendH3615 their daysH3117 in prosperityH2896, and their yearsH8141 in pleasuresH5273.12But if they obeyH8085 not, they shall perishH5674 by the swordH7973, and they shall dieH1478 without knowledgeH1847.13But the hypocritesH2611 in heartH3820 heap upH7760 wrathH639: they cryH7768 not when he bindethH631 them.14TheyH5315 dieH4191 in youthH5290, and their lifeH2416 is among the uncleanH6945.15He deliverethH2502 the poorH6041 in his afflictionH6040, and openethH1540 their earsH241 in oppressionH3906.

16Even so would he have removedH5496 thee out of the straitH6310 H6862 into a broad placeH7338, whereH8478 there is no straitnessH4164; and that which should be setH5183 on thy tableH7979 should be fullH4390 of fatnessH1880.17But thou hast fulfilledH4390 the judgmentH1779 of the wickedH7563: judgmentH1779 and justiceH4941 take holdH8551 on thee.18Because there is wrathH2534, beware lest he take thee awayH5496 with his strokeH5607: then a greatH7230 ransomH3724 cannot deliverH5186 thee.19Will he esteemH6186 thy richesH7769? no, not goldH1222, nor all the forcesH3981 of strengthH3581.20DesireH7602 not the nightH3915, when peopleH5971 are cut offH5927 in their place.21Take heedH8104, regardH6437 not iniquityH205: for this hast thou chosenH977 rather than afflictionH6040.22Behold, GodH410 exaltethH7682 by his powerH3581: who teachethH3384 like him?23Who hath enjoinedH6485 him his wayH1870? or who can sayH559, Thou hast wroughtH6466 iniquityH5766?

24RememberH2142 that thou magnifyH7679 his workH6467, which menH582 beholdH7891.25Every manH120 may seeH2372 it; manH582 may beholdH5027 it afar offH7350.26Behold, GodH410 is greatH7689, and we knowH3045 him not, neither can the numberH4557 of his yearsH8141 be searched outH2714.27For he maketh smallH1639 the dropsH5198 of waterH4325: they pour downH2212 rainH4306 according to the vapourH108 thereof:28Which the cloudsH7834 do dropH5140 and distilH7491 upon manH120 abundantlyH7227.29Also can any understandH995 the spreadingsH4666 of the cloudsH5645, or the noiseH8663 of his tabernacleH5521?30Behold, he spreadethH6566 his lightH216 upon it, and coverethH3680 the bottomH8328 of the seaH3220.31For by them judgethH1777 he the peopleH5971; he givethH5414 meatH400 in abundanceH4342.32With cloudsH3709 he coverethH3680 the lightH216; and commandethH6680 it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixtH6293.33The noiseH7452 thereof shewethH5046 concerning it, the cattleH4735 also concerning the vapourH5927.
