Elihu 453 also proceeded, 3254-55 and said, 559-4 |
| 2 |
Suffer 3803-16 me a little, 2191 and I will shew 2331-17 thee that [I have] yet to speak 4405 on God's 433 behalf. |
| 3 |
I will fetch 5375-4 my knowledge 1843 from afar, 7350 and will ascribe 5414-4 righteousness 6664 to my Maker. 6466-6 |
| 4 |
For truly 551 my words 4405 [shall] not [be] false: 8267 he that is perfect 8549 in knowledge 1844 [is] with thee. |
| 5 |
Behold, God 410 [is] mighty, 3524 and despiseth 3988-4 not [any: he is] mighty 3524 in strength 3581 [and] wisdom. 3820 |
| 6 |
He preserveth not the life 2421-17 of the wicked: 7563 but giveth 5414-4 right 4941 to the poor. 6041 |
| 7 |
He withdraweth 1639-4 not his eyes 5869 from the righteous: 6662 but with kings 4428 [are they] on the throne; 3678 yea, he doth establish 3427-55 them for ever, 5331 and they are exalted. 1361-4 |
| 8 |
And if [they be] bound 631-7 in fetters, 2131 [and] be holden 3920-11 in cords 2256 of affliction; 6040 |
| 9 |
Then he sheweth 5046-55 them their work, 6467 and their transgressions 6588 that they have exceeded. 1396-101 |
| 10 |
He openeth 1540-4 also their ear 241 to discipline, 4148 and commandeth 559-4 that they return 7725-4 from iniquity. 205 |
| 11 |
If they obey 8085-4 and serve 5647-4 [him], they shall spend 3615-17 their days 3117 in prosperity, 2896 and their years 8141 in pleasures. 5273 |
| 12 |
But if they obey 8085-4 not, they shall perish 5674-4 by the sword, 7973 and they shall die 1478-4 without knowledge. 1847 |
| 13 |
But the hypocrites 2611 in heart 3820 heap up 7760-4 wrath: 639 they cry 7768-17 not when he bindeth 631-1 them. |
| 14 |
They 5315 die 4191-4 in youth, 5290 and their life 2416 [is] among the unclean. 6945 |
| 15 |
He delivereth 2502-17 the poor 6041 in his affliction, 6040 and openeth 1540-4 their ears 241 in oppression. 3906 |
| 16 |
Even so would he have removed 5496-52 thee out 6310 of the strait 6862 [into] a broad place, 7338 where 8478 [there is] no straitness; 4164 and that which should be set on 5183 thy table 7979 [should be] full 4390-1 of fatness. 1880 |
| 17 |
But thou hast fulfilled 4390-1 the judgment 1779 of the wicked: 7563 judgment 1779 and justice 4941 take hold 8551-4 [on thee]. |
| 18 |
Because [there is] wrath, 2534 [beware] lest he take thee away 5496-55 with [his] stroke: 5607 then a great 7230 ransom 3724 cannot deliver 5186-55 thee. |
| 19 |
Will he esteem 6186-4 thy riches? 7769 [no], not gold, 1222 nor all the forces 3981 of strength. 3581 |
| 20 |
Desire 7602-4 not the night, 3915 when people 5971 are cut off 5927-2 in their place. |
| 21 |
Take heed, 8104-10 regard 6437-4 not iniquity: 205 for this hast thou chosen 977-1 rather than affliction. 6040 |
| 22 |
Behold, God 410 exalteth 7682-55 by his power: 3581 who teacheth 3384-56 like him? |
| 23 |
Who hath enjoined 6485-1 him his way? 1870 or who can say, 559-1 Thou hast wrought 6466-1 iniquity? 5766 |
| 24 |
Remember 2142-3 that thou magnify 7679-55 his work, 6467 which men 582 behold. 7891-31 |
| 25 |
Every man 120 may see 2372-1 it; man 582 may behold 5027-55 [it] afar off. 7350 |
| 26 |
Behold, God 410 [is] great, 7689 and we know 3045-4 [him] not, neither can the number 4557 of his years 8141 be searched out. 2714 |
| 27 |
For he maketh small 1639-17 the drops 5198 of water: 4325 they pour down 2212-4 rain 4306 according to the vapour 108 thereof: |
| 28 |
Which the clouds 7834 do drop 5140-4 [and] distil 7491-4 upon man 120 abundantly. 7227 |
| 29 |
Also can [any] understand 995-4 the spreadings 4666 of the clouds, 5645 [or] the noise 8663 of his tabernacle? 5521 |
| 30 |
Behold, he spreadeth 6566-1 his light 216 upon it, and covereth 3680-14 the bottom 8328 of the sea. 3220 |
| 31 |
For by them judgeth 1777-4 he the people; 5971 he giveth 5414-4 meat 400 in abundance. 4342-56 |
| 32 |
With clouds 3709 he covereth 3680-14 the light; 216 and commandeth 6680-17 it [not to shine] by [the cloud] that cometh betwixt. 6293-56 |
| 33 |
The noise 7452 thereof sheweth 5046-55 concerning it, the cattle 4735 also concerning the vapour. 5927-6 |
