1 Eli­hu also pro­ceed­ed, and said, 2 Suf­fer me a lit­tle, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God's be­half. 3 I will fetch my knowl­edge from afar, and will as­cribe righ­teous­ness to my Mak­er. 4 For tru­ly my words shall not be false: he that is per­fect in knowl­edge is with thee. 5 Be­hold, God is mighty, and de­spiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wis­dom. 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 are they on the throne; yea, he doth es­tab­lish them for ev­er, and they are ex­alt­ed. 8 And if they be bound in fet­ters, and be hold­en in cords of af­flic­tion; 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 him, they shall spend their days in pros­per­i­ty, and their years in plea­sures. 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 is among the un­clean. 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 into a broad place, where there is no strait­ness; and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fat­ness. 17 But thou hast ful­filled the judg­ment of the wicked: judg­ment and jus­tice take hold on thee. 18 Be­cause there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ran­som can­not de­liv­er thee. 19 Will he es­teem thy rich­es? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength. 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 it afar off. 26 Be­hold, God is great, and we know him not, nei­ther can the num­ber of his years be searched out. 27 For he maketh small the drops of wa­ter: they pour down rain ac­cord­ing to the vapour there­of: 28 Which the clouds do drop and dis­til upon man abun­dant­ly. 29 Also can any un­der­stand the spread­ings of the clouds, or the noise of his taber­na­cle? 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 not to shine by the cloud that cometh be­twixt. 33 The noise there­of sheweth con­cern­ing it, the cat­tle also con­cern­ing the vapour.
