1 Elihu also proceeded, and said,
2 Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that
3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
4 For truly my words
5 Behold, God
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
8 And if
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
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
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
17 But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold
18 Because
19 Will he esteem thy riches?
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
26 Behold, God
27 For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:
28 Which the clouds do drop
29 Also can
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
33 The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.
