| 1 | Elihu also proceeded, and said, |
| 2 | Suffer mee a little, and I will shewe thee, that I haue yet to speake on Gods behalfe. |
| 3 | I will fetch my knowledge from afarre, and will ascribe righteousnesse to my Maker. |
| 4 | For truely my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge, is with thee. |
| 5 | Behold, God is mightie, and despiseth not any: he is mightie in strength and wisedome. |
| 6 | He preserueth not the life of the wicked: but giueth right to the poore. |
| 7 | Hee withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne, yea he doth establish them for euer, and they are exalted. |
| 8 | And if they bee bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction: |
| 9 | Then hee sheweth them their worke, and their transgressions, that they haue exceeded. |
| 10 | He openeth also their eare to discipline, and commandeth that they returne from iniquitie. |
| 11 | If they obey and serue him, they shall spend their dayes in prosperitie, and their yeeres in pleasures. |
| 12 | But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge. |
| 13 | But the hypocrites in heart heape vp wrath: they crie not when he bindeth them. |
| 14 | They die in youth, and their life is among the vncleane. |
| 15 | He deliuereth the poore in his affliction, and openeth their eares in oppression. |
| 16 | Euen so would he haue remooued thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitnesse, and that which should be set on thy table, should be full of fatnesse. |
| 17 | But thou hast fulfilled the iudgement of the wicked: iudgement and iustice take hold on thee. |
| 18 | Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransome cannot deliuer thee. |
| 19 | Will he esteeme thy riches? no not gold, nor all the forces of strength. |
| 20 | Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place. |
| 21 | Take heed, regard not iniquitie: for this hast thou chosen rather then affliction. |
| 22 | Beholde, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him? |
| 23 | Who hath inioyned him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquitie? |
| 24 | Remember that thou magnifie his worke, which men behold. |
| 25 | Euery man may see it, man may behold it afarre off. |
| 26 | Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his yeeres be searched out. |
| 27 | For hee maketh small the drops of water: they powre downe raine according to the vapour thereof: |
| 28 | Which the clouds doe drop, and distill vpon man aboundantly. |
| 29 | Also can any vnderstand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle? |
| 30 | Behold, he spreadeth his light vpon it, and couereth the bottome of the sea. |
| 31 | For by them iudgeth he the people, he giueth meate in abundance. |
| 32 | With clouds he couereth the light, and commaundeth it not to shine, by the cloud that commeth betwixt. |
| 33 | The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattel also concerning the Uapour. |
