1.Elihu also proceeded, and said,
3.I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
4.For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.
7.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.
8.And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;
9.Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.
10.He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.
11.If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
13.But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them.
19.Will he esteem 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 iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
22.Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
23.Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?
24.Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.
25.Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.
26.Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
27.For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:
28.Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.
29.Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?
31.For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance.
32.With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.
