But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold {on thee}. {take...: or, should uphold thee}

For truly my words {shall} not {be} false: he that is perfect in knowledge {is} with thee.

He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor. {poor: or, afflicted}

The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour. {the vapour: Heb. that which goeth up}

But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them.

Also can {any} understand the spreadings of the clouds, {or} the noise of his tabernacle?

For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:

I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

Elihu also proceeded, and said,

Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.

For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance.

With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it {not to shine} by {the cloud} that cometh betwixt.

Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that {I have} yet to speak on God's behalf. {I have...: Heb. there are yet words for God}

Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea. {bottom: Heb. roots}

Because {there is} wrath, {beware} lest he take thee away with {his} stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee. {deliver...: Heb. turn thee aside}

Behold, God {is} great, and we know {him} not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.

He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings {are they} on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.

Will he esteem thy riches? {no}, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.

He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.

Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait {into} a broad place, where {there is} no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table {should be} full of fatness. {that...: Heb. the rest of thy table}

They die in youth, and their life {is} among the unclean. {They...: Heb. Their soul dieth} {unclean: or, sodomites}

Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.

Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?

Which the clouds do drop {and} distil upon man abundantly.

But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge. {perish: Heb. pass away}

Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.

And if {they be} bound in fetters, {and} be holden in cords of affliction;

If they obey and serve {him}, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.

Behold, God {is} mighty, and despiseth not {any: he is} mighty in strength {and} wisdom. {wisdom: Heb. heart}

Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.

Every man may see it; man may behold {it} afar off.

He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression. {poor: or, afflicted}

Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
