1

Then Elihuh453 continuedh3254 and saidh559,

2

"Waith3803 for me a littleh2191, and I will showh2331a you That there  1is yeth5750 moreh5750 to be saidh4405 in God'sh433 behalf.

3

"I will fetchh5375 my knowledgeh1843 from afarh7350, And I will ascribeh5414  arighteousnessh6664 to my Makerh6466.

4

"For trulyh551  amy wordsh4405 are not falseh8267; One whoh8549 is  bperfecth8549 in knowledgeh1844 is with you.

5

"Beholdh2005, Godh410 is mightyh3524 but does not  adespiseh3988a any; He is  bmightyh3524 in strengthh3581b of understandingh3820.

6

"He does not  akeeph2421a the wickedh7563 aliveh2421a, But givesh5414 justiceh4941 to  bthe afflictedh6041.

7

"He does not  awithdrawh1639 His eyesh5869 from the righteoush6662; But  bwith kingsh4428 on the throneh3678 He has seatedh3427 them foreverh5331, and they are exaltedh1361b.

8

"And ifh518 they are boundh631 in fettersh2203b, And are caughth3920 in the cordsh2256a of  aafflictionh6040a,

9

Then He declaresh5046 to them their workh6467 And their transgressionsh6588, that they have  amagnifiedh1396 themselves.

10

aHe opensh1540 their earh241 to instructionh4148, And  bcommandsh559 that they returnh7725 from evilh205.

11

"Ifh518 they hearh8085 and serveh5647 Him, They will  aendh3615 their daysh3117 in prosperityh2896b And their yearsh8141 in  bpleasuresh5273a.

12

"But ifh518 they do not hearh8085, they shall  1perishh5674a  aby the swordh2719 And they will  bdieh1478 withouth1097 knowledgeh1847.

13

"But the godlessh2611 in hearth3820 layh7760 up angerh639; They do not cryh7768 for helph7768 whenh3588 He bindsh631 them.

14

1They dieh4191 in youthh5290, And their lifeh2421b perishes among the  aculth6945 prostitutesh6945.

15

"He deliversh2502a the afflictedh6041 in  1their  aafflictionh6040a, And  bopensh1540 their earh241  2in time of oppressionh3906.

16

"Then indeedh637, He  aenticedh5496 you from the mouthh6310 of distressh6862b, Insteadh8478 of it, a broadh7338 placeh7338 with noh3808 constrainth4164; And that whichh5183a was seth5183a on your tableh7979 was fullh4390 of  1fatnessh1880.

17

"But you were fullh4390 of  ajudgmenth1779 on the wickedh7563; Judgmenth1779 and justiceh4941 takeh8551 holdh8551 of you.

18

"Beware that  awrathh2534 does not enticeh5496 you to scoffingh5607; And do not let the greatnessh7230 of the  bransomh3724a turnh5186 you asideh5186.

19

"Will your  1richesh7770b keeph6186a you from distressh6862b, Or allh3605 the forcesh3981 of your strengthh3581b?

20

"Do not longh7602a for  athe nighth3915, When peopleh5971a  1vanishh5927 in their placeh8478.

21

"Be carefulh8104, do  anot turnh6437 to evilh205, For you have preferredh977 thish2088 to  bafflictionh6040a.

22

"Beholdh2005, Godh410 is exaltedh7682 in His powerh3581b; Whoh4310 is a  ateacherh4175b likeh3644 Him?

23

"Whoh4310 has appointedh6485 Him His wayh1870, And whoh4310 has saidh559, ` aYou have doneh6466 wrongh5767b'?

24

"Rememberh2142 that you should  aexalth7679 His workh6467, Of whichh834 menh376 have  bsungh7891.

25

"Allh3605 menh120 have seenh2372 it; Manh120 beholdsh5027 from afarh7350.

26

"Beholdh2005, Godh410 is  aexaltedh7689, and  bwe do not knowh3045 Him; The  cnumberh4557 of His yearsh8141 is unsearchableh3808h2714.

27

"For  aHe drawsh1639 up the dropsh5198a of waterh4325, They distillh2212 rainh4306 from  1the  2misth108,

28

Whichh834 the cloudsh7834 pourh5140 downh5140, They driph7491 upon manh120 abundantlyh7227a.

29

"Can anyone understandh995 the  aspreadingh4666 of the cloudsh5645, The  bthunderingh8663 of His  1pavilionh5521?

30

"Beholdh2005, He spreadsh6566 His  1lightningh216 abouth5921 Him, And He coversh3680 the depthsh8328 of the seah3220.

31

"For by these He  ajudgesh1777 peoplesh5971a; He  bgivesh5414 foodh400 in abundanceh3527.

32

"He coversh3680 His handsh3709 with the  1lightningh216, And  acommandsh6680 it to strikeh6293 the markh6293.

33

"Its  anoiseh7452 declaresh5046  1His presenceh5921; The cattleh4735 alsoh637, concerningh5921 what is comingh5927 up.
