Elihu went on and said, |
2
|
Wait for me a little, and I will show you that there are yet words for God. |
3
|
I will bring my knowledge from afar, and I will credit righteousness to my Maker. |
4
|
For truly my words are not false; He who is perfect in knowledge is with you. |
5
|
Behold, God is mighty, and does not despise; He is mighty in strength of heart. |
6
|
He will not keep alive one who is wicked, but gives right to the afflicted. |
7
|
He withdraws not His eyes from the righteous, but they are like kings on the throne; yes, He causes them to sit forever, and they are very high. |
8
|
And if they are bound in chains, and are held in cords of affliction, |
9
|
then He shows them their work, and their sins, that they have behaved themselves proudly. |
10
|
He also opens their ears to teaching, and commands that they return from iniquity. |
11
|
If they obey and serve Him, they shall spend their days in blessedness, and their years in pleasures. |
12
|
But if they do not obey, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge. |
13
|
But the ungodly in heart heap up wrath; they cry not when He binds them. |
14
|
Their soul dies in youth, and their life ends among the sodomites. |
15
|
He delivers the poor in his affliction, and opens their ears by oppression. |
16
|
And He also would have lured you from the mouth of distress to a wide place not cramped; and the setting of your table would be full of fatness. |
17
|
But you have fulfilled the judgment of the wicked; judgment and justice take hold; |
18
|
For beware wrath, that He not lure you with His scorn; then a great ransom cannot turn you aside. |
19
|
If your cry for help is set in order, then it will not be in distress, but with all the forces of strength. |
20
|
Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place. |
21
|
Beware, do not turn to iniquity; for this you have chosen rather than affliction. |
22
|
Behold, God is exalted in His power; who teaches like Him? |
23
|
Who has appointed Him His way; or who can say, You have done wrong? |
24
|
Remember that you magnify His work of which men have sung; |
25
|
every man has seen it; man may see it afar off. |
26
|
Behold, God is great, and we do not know; the number of His years cannot be searched out. |
27
|
For He draws up the drops of water; they distill rain into mist, |
28
|
which the clouds pour down and drop on man plentifully. |
29
|
Also can any understand the spreading of the clouds, or the crashing of His canopy? |
30
|
Behold, He spreads His light on it, and He covers the bottom of the sea. |
31
|
For by them He judges the people; He gives plenty of food. |
32
|
He covers His hands with the lightning, and commands it to strike the mark; |
33
|
its thunder declares concerning Him, and the cattle, concerning what is coming. |
