Elihu Speaks of God’s Dealings with Men

1Then ElihuH453 continuedH3254 and saidH559,2“WaitH3803 for me a littleH2191, and I will showH2331 you That there 1is yetH5750 moreH5750 to be saidH4405 in God’sH433 behalf.3I will fetchH5375 my knowledgeH1843 from afarH7350, And I will ascribeH5414 2righteousnessH6664 to my MakerH6466.4For trulyH551 3my wordsH4405 are not falseH8267; One whoH8549 is 4perfectH8549 in knowledgeH1844 is with you.5BeholdH2005, GodH410 is mightyH3524 but does not 5despiseH3988 any; He is 6mightyH3524 in strengthH3581 of understandingH3820.6He does not 7keepH2421 the wickedH7563 aliveH2421, But givesH5414 justiceH4941 to 8the afflictedH6041.7He does not 9withdrawH1639 His eyesH5869 from the righteousH6662; But 10with kingsH4428 on the throneH3678 He has seatedH3427 them foreverH5331, and they are exaltedH1361.8And ifH518 they are boundH631 in fettersH2203, And are caughtH3920 in the cordsH2256 of 11afflictionH6040,9Then He declaresH5046 to them their workH6467 And their transgressionsH6588, that they have 12magnifiedH1396 themselves.1013He opensH1540 their earH241 to instructionH4148, And 14commandsH559 that they returnH7725 from evilH205.11IfH518 they hearH8085 and serveH5647 Him, They will 15endH3615 their daysH3117 in prosperityH2896 And their yearsH8141 in 16pleasuresH5273.12But ifH518 they do not hearH8085, they shall 17perishH5674 18by the swordH2719 And they will 19dieH1478 withoutH1097 knowledgeH1847.13But the godlessH2611 in heartH3820 layH7760 up angerH639; They do not cryH7768 for helpH7768 whenH3588 He bindsH631 them.1420They dieH4191 in youthH5290, And their lifeH2421 perishes among the 21cultH6945 prostitutesH6945.15He deliversH2502 the afflictedH6041 in 22their 23afflictionH6040, And 24opensH1540 their earH241 25in time of oppressionH3906.16Then indeedH637, He 26enticedH5496 you from the mouthH6310 of distressH6862, InsteadH8478 of it, a broadH7338 placeH7338 with noH3808 constraintH4164; And that whichH5183 was setH5183 on your tableH7979 was fullH4390 of 27fatnessH1880.

17“But you were fullH4390 of 28judgmentH1779 on the wickedH7563; JudgmentH1779 and justiceH4941 takeH8551 holdH8551 of you.18Beware that 29wrathH2534 does not enticeH5496 you to scoffingH5607; And do not let the greatnessH7230 of the 30ransomH3724 turnH5186 you asideH5186.19Will your 31richesH7770 keepH6186 you from distressH6862, Or allH3605 the forcesH3981 of your strengthH3581?20Do not longH7602 for 32the nightH3915, When peopleH5971 33vanishH5927 in their placeH8478.21Be carefulH8104, do 34not turnH6437 to evilH205, For you have preferredH977 thisH2088 to 35afflictionH6040.22BeholdH2005, GodH410 is exaltedH7682 in His powerH3581; WhoH4310 is a 36teacherH4175 likeH3644 Him?23WhoH4310 has appointedH6485 Him His wayH1870, And whoH4310 has saidH559, ‘37You have doneH6466 wrongH5767’?

24“RememberH2142 that you should 38exaltH7679 His workH6467, Of whichH834 menH376 have 39sungH7891.25AllH3605 menH120 have seenH2372 it; ManH120 beholdsH5027 from afarH7350.26BeholdH2005, GodH410 is 40exaltedH7689, and 41we do not knowH3045 Him; The 42numberH4557 of His yearsH8141 is unsearchableH3808H2714.27For 43He drawsH1639 up the dropsH5198 of waterH4325, They distillH2212 rainH4306 from 44the 45mistH108,28WhichH834 the cloudsH7834 pourH5140 downH5140, They dripH7491 upon manH120 abundantlyH7227.29Can anyone understandH995 the 46spreadingH4666 of the cloudsH5645, The 47thunderingH8663 of His 48pavilionH5521?30BeholdH2005, He spreadsH6566 His 49lightningH216 aboutH5921 Him, And He coversH3680 the depthsH8328 of the seaH3220.31For by these He 50judgesH1777 peoplesH5971; He 51givesH5414 foodH400 in abundanceH3527.32He coversH3680 His handsH3709 with the 52lightningH216, And 53commandsH6680 it to strikeH6293 the markH6293.33Its 54noiseH7452 declaresH5046 55His presenceH5921; The cattleH4735 alsoH637, concerningH5921 what is comingH5927 up.
