      | ¶ | 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. |
