|
Elihu also proceeded, and said,
|
|
|
Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to
speak on God's behalf.
|
|
|
I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe
righteousness to my Maker.
|
|
|
For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in
knowledge is with thee.
|
|
|
Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in
strength and wisdom.
|
|
|
He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to
the poor.
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of
affliction;
|
|
|
Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that
they have exceeded.
|
|
|
He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that
they return from iniquity.
|
|
|
If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in
prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
|
|
|
But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they
shall die without knowledge.
|
|
|
But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when
he bindeth them.
|
|
|
They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
|
|
|
He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their
ears in oppression.
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment
and justice take hold on thee.
|
|
|
Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his
stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.
|
|
|
Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of
strength.
|
|
|
Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.
|
|
|
Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen
rather than affliction.
|
|
|
Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
|
|
|
Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast
wrought iniquity?
|
|
|
Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.
|
|
|
Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.
|
|
|
Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the
number of his years be searched out.
|
|
|
For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain
according to the vapour thereof:
|
|
|
Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.
|
|
|
Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the
noise of his tabernacle?
|
|
|
Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the
bottom of the sea.
|
|
|
For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in
abundance.
|
|
|
With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to
shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.
|
|
|
The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also
concerning the vapour.
