Elihu⁴⁵³ also proceeded,³²⁵⁴ and said,⁵⁵⁹

Suffer³⁸⁰³ me a little,²¹⁹¹ and I will shew²³³¹ thee that I have yet to speak⁴⁴⁰⁵ on Eloah's⁴³³ behalf.

I will fetch⁵³⁷⁵ my knowledge¹⁸⁴³ from afar,⁷³⁵⁰ and will ascribe⁵⁴¹⁴ righteousness⁶⁶⁶⁴ to my Maker.⁶⁴⁶⁶

For truly⁵⁵¹ my words⁴⁴⁰⁵ shall not be false:⁸²⁶⁷ he that is perfect⁸⁵⁴⁹ in knowledge¹⁸⁴⁴ is with thee.

Behold, El⁴¹⁰ is mighty,³⁵²⁴ and despiseth³⁹⁸⁸ not any: he is mighty³⁵²⁴ in strength³⁵⁸¹ and wisdom.³⁸²⁰

He preserveth not the life²⁴²¹ of the wicked:⁷⁵⁶³ but giveth⁵⁴¹⁴ right⁴⁹⁴¹ to the poor.⁶⁰⁴¹

He withdraweth¹⁶³⁹ not his eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ from the righteous:⁶⁶⁶² but with kings⁴⁴²⁸ are they on the throne;³⁶⁷⁸ yea, he doth establish³⁴²⁷ them for ever,⁵³³¹ and they are exalted.¹³⁶¹

And if they be bound⁶³¹ in fetters,²¹³¹ and be holden³⁹²⁰ in cords²²⁵⁶ of affliction;⁶⁰⁴⁰

Then he sheweth⁵⁰⁴⁶ them their work,⁶⁴⁶⁷ and their transgressions⁶⁵⁸⁸ that they have exceeded.¹³⁹⁶

He openeth¹⁵⁴⁰ also their ear²⁴¹ to discipline,⁴¹⁴⁸ and commandeth⁵⁵⁹ that they return⁷⁷²⁵ from iniquity.²⁰⁵

If they obey⁸⁰⁸⁵ and serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ him, they shall spend³⁶¹⁵ their days³¹¹⁷ in prosperity,²⁸⁹⁶ and their years⁸¹⁴¹ in pleasures.⁵²⁷³

But if they obey⁸⁰⁸⁵ not, they shall perish⁵⁶⁷⁴ by the sword,⁷⁹⁷³ and they shall die¹⁴⁷⁸ without knowledge.¹⁸⁴⁷

But the hypocrites²⁶¹¹ in heart³⁸²⁰ heap up⁷⁷⁶⁰ wrath:⁶³⁹ they cry⁷⁷⁶⁸ not when he bindeth⁶³¹ them.

They⁵³¹⁵ die⁴¹⁹¹ in youth,⁵²⁹⁰ and their life²⁴¹⁶ is among the unclean.⁶⁹⁴⁵

He delivereth²⁵⁰² the poor⁶⁰⁴¹ in his affliction,⁶⁰⁴⁰ and openeth¹⁵⁴⁰ their ears²⁴¹ in oppression.³⁹⁰⁶

Even so would he have removed⁵⁴⁹⁶ thee out⁶³¹⁰ of the strait⁶⁸⁶² into a broad place,⁷³³⁸ where⁸⁴⁷⁸ there is no straitness;⁴¹⁶⁴ and that which should be set on⁵¹⁸³ thy table⁷⁹⁷⁹ should be full⁴³⁹⁰ of fatness.¹⁸⁸⁰

But thou hast fulfilled⁴³⁹⁰ the judgment¹⁷⁷⁹ of the wicked:⁷⁵⁶³ judgment¹⁷⁷⁹ and justice⁴⁹⁴¹ take hold⁸⁵⁵¹ on thee.

Because there is wrath,²⁵³⁴ beware lest he take thee away⁵⁴⁹⁶ with his stroke:⁵⁶⁰⁷ then a great⁷²³⁰ ransom³⁷²⁴ cannot deliver⁵¹⁸⁶ thee.

Will he esteem⁶¹⁸⁶ thy riches?⁷⁷⁶⁹ no, not gold,¹²²² nor all the forces³⁹⁸¹ of strength.³⁵⁸¹

Desire⁷⁶⁰² not the night,³⁹¹⁵ when people⁵⁹⁷¹ are cut off⁵⁹²⁷ in their place.

Take heed,⁸¹⁰⁴ regard⁶⁴³⁷ not iniquity:²⁰⁵ for this hast thou chosen⁹⁷⁷ rather than affliction.⁶⁰⁴⁰

Behold, El⁴¹⁰ exalteth⁷⁶⁸² by his power:³⁵⁸¹ who teacheth³³⁸⁴ like him?

Who hath enjoined⁶⁴⁸⁵ him his way?¹⁸⁷⁰ or who can say,⁵⁵⁹ Thou hast wrought⁶⁴⁶⁶ iniquity?⁵⁷⁶⁶

Remember²¹⁴² that thou magnify⁷⁶⁷⁹ his work,⁶⁴⁶⁷ which men⁵⁸² behold.⁷⁸⁹¹

Every man¹²⁰ may see²³⁷² it; man⁵⁸² may behold⁵⁰²⁷ it afar off.⁷³⁵⁰

Behold, El⁴¹⁰ is great,⁷⁶⁸⁹ and we know³⁰⁴⁵ him not, neither can the number⁴⁵⁵⁷ of his years⁸¹⁴¹ be searched out.²⁷¹⁴

For he maketh small¹⁶³⁹ the drops⁵¹⁹⁸ of water:⁴³²⁵ they pour down²²¹² rain⁴³⁰⁶ according to the vapour¹⁰⁸ thereof:

Which the clouds⁷⁸³⁴ do drop⁵¹⁴⁰ and distil⁷⁴⁹¹ upon man¹²⁰ abundantly.⁷²²⁷

Also can any understand⁹⁹⁵ the spreadings⁴⁶⁶⁶ of the clouds,⁵⁶⁴⁵ or the noise⁸⁶⁶³ of his tabernacle?⁵⁵²¹

Behold, he spreadeth⁶⁵⁶⁶ his light²¹⁶ upon it, and covereth³⁶⁸⁰ the bottom⁸³²⁸ of the sea.³²²⁰

For by them judgeth¹⁷⁷⁷ he the people;⁵⁹⁷¹ he giveth⁵⁴¹⁴ meat⁴⁰⁰ in abundance.⁴³⁴²

With clouds³⁷⁰⁹ he covereth³⁶⁸⁰ the light;²¹⁶ and commandeth⁶⁶⁸⁰ it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.⁶²⁹³

The noise⁷⁴⁵² thereof sheweth⁵⁰⁴⁶ concerning it, the cattle⁴⁷³⁵ also concerning the vapour.⁵⁹²⁷
