- And Elihu continued, and said:
- 2
- “Bear with me a little, and I will show you, for I have yet something to say on God’s behalf.
- 3
- I will get my knowledge from afar and ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
- 4
- For truly my words are not false; one who is perfect in knowledge is with you.
- 5
- “Behold, God is mighty, and does not despise any; he is mighty in strength of understanding.
- 6
- He does not keep the wicked alive, but gives the afflicted their right.
- 7
- He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne he sets them forever, and they are exalted.
- 8
- And if they are bound in chains and caught in the cords of affliction,
- 9
- then he declares to them their work and their transgressions, that they are behaving arrogantly.
- 10
- He opens their ears to instruction and commands that they return from iniquity.
- 11
- If they listen and serve him, they complete their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasantness.
- 12
- But if they do not listen, they perish by the sword and die without knowledge.
- 13
- “The godless in heart cherish anger; they do not cry for help when he binds them.
- 14
- They die in youth, and their life ends among the cult prostitutes.
- 15
- He delivers the afflicted by their affliction and opens their ear by adversity.
- 16
- He also allured you out of distress into a broad place where there was no cramping, and what was set on your table was full of fatness.
- 17
- “But you are full of the judgment on the wicked; judgment and justice seize you.
- 18
- Beware lest wrath entice you into scoffing, and let not the greatness of the ransom turn you aside.
- 19
- Will your cry for help avail to keep you from distress, or all the force of your strength?
- 20
- Do not long for the night, when peoples vanish in their place.
- 21
- Take care; do not turn to iniquity, for this you have chosen rather than affliction.
- 22
- Behold, God is exalted in his power; who is a teacher like him?
- 23
- Who has prescribed for him his way, or who can say, ‘You have done wrong’?
- 24
- “Remember to extol his work, of which men have sung.
- 25
- All mankind has looked on it; man beholds it from afar.
- 26
- Behold, God is great, and we know him not; the number of his years is unsearchable.
- 27
- For he draws up the drops of water; they distill his mist in rain,
- 28
- which the skies pour down and drop on mankind abundantly.
- 29
- Can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds, the thunderings of his pavilion?
- 30
- Behold, he scatters his lightning about him and covers the roots of the sea.
- 31
- For by these he judges peoples; he gives food in abundance.
- 32
- He covers his hands with the lightning and commands it to strike the mark.
- 33
- Its crashing declares his presence; the cattle also declare that he rises.
