1 Elihu 453 also proceeded 3254, and said 559,
2 Suffer 3803 me a little 2191, and I will shew 2331 thee that I have yet to speak 4405 on God's 433 behalf.
3 I will fetch 5375 my knowledge 1843 from afar 7350, and will ascribe 5414 righteousness 6664 to my Maker 6466.
4 For truly 551 my words 4405 shall not be false 8267: he that is perfect 8549 in knowledge 1844 is with thee.
5 Behold, God 410 is mighty 3524, and despiseth 3988 not any: he is mighty 3524 in strength 3581 and wisdom 3820.
6 He preserveth not the life 2421 of the wicked 7563: but giveth 5414 right 4941 to the poor 6041.
7 He withdraweth 1639 not his eyes 5869 from the righteous 6662: but with kings 4428 are they on the throne 3678; yea, he doth establish 3427 them for ever 5331, and they are exalted 1361.
8 And if they be bound 631 in fetters 2131, and be holden 3920 in cords 2256 of affliction 6040;
9 Then he sheweth 5046 them their work 6467, and their transgressions 6588 that they have exceeded 1396.
10 He openeth 1540 also their ear 241 to discipline 4148, and commandeth 559 that they return 7725 from iniquity 205.
11 If they obey 8085 and serve 5647 him, they shall spend 3615 their days 3117 in prosperity 2896, and their years 8141 in pleasures 5273.
12 But if they obey 8085 not, they shall perish 5674 by the sword 7973, and they shall die 1478 without knowledge 1847.
13 But the hypocrites 2611 in heart 3820 heap up 7760 wrath 639: they cry 7768 not when he bindeth 631 them.
14 They 5315 die 4191 in youth 5290, and their life 2416 is among the unclean 6945.
15 He delivereth 2502 the poor 6041 in his affliction 6040, and openeth 1540 their ears 241 in oppression 3906.
16 Even so would he have removed 5496 thee out of the strait 6310 6862 into a broad place 7338, where 8478 there is no straitness 4164; and that which should be set 5183 on thy table 7979 should be full 4390 of fatness 1880.
17 But thou hast fulfilled 4390 the judgment 1779 of the wicked 7563: judgment 1779 and justice 4941 take hold 8551 on thee.
18 Because there is wrath 2534, beware lest he take thee away 5496 with his stroke 5607: then a great 7230 ransom 3724 cannot deliver 5186 thee.
19 Will he esteem 6186 thy riches 7769? no, not gold 1222, nor all the forces 3981 of strength 3581.
20 Desire 7602 not the night 3915, when people 5971 are cut off 5927 in their place.
21 Take heed 8104, regard 6437 not iniquity 205: for this hast thou chosen 977 rather than affliction 6040.
22 Behold, God 410 exalteth 7682 by his power 3581: who teacheth 3384 like him?
23 Who hath enjoined 6485 him his way 1870? or who can say 559, Thou hast wrought 6466 iniquity 5766?
24 Remember 2142 that thou magnify 7679 his work 6467, which men 582 behold 7891.
25 Every man 120 may see 2372 it; man 582 may behold 5027 it afar off 7350.
26 Behold, God 410 is great 7689, and we know 3045 him not, neither can the number 4557 of his years 8141 be searched out 2714.
27 For he maketh small 1639 the drops 5198 of water 4325: they pour down 2212 rain 4306 according to the vapour 108 thereof:
28 Which the clouds 7834 do drop 5140 and distil 7491 upon man 120 abundantly 7227.
29 Also can any understand 995 the spreadings 4666 of the clouds 5645, or the noise 8663 of his tabernacle 5521?
30 Behold, he spreadeth 6566 his light 216 upon it, and covereth 3680 the bottom 8328 of the sea 3220.
31 For by them judgeth 1777 he the people 5971; he giveth 5414 meat 400 in abundance 4342.
32 With clouds 3709 he covereth 3680 the light 216; and commandeth 6680 it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt 6293.
33 The noise 7452 thereof sheweth 5046 concerning it, the cattle 4735 also concerning the vapour 5927.
