1 -And Elihu continued:
2 -“Bear with me a little longer, and I will show you that there is more to be said on God’s behalf.
3 -I get my knowledge from afar, and I will ascribe justice to my Maker.
4 -For truly my words are free of falsehood; one perfect in knowledge is with you.
5 -Indeed, God is mighty, but He despises no one; He is mighty in strength of understanding.
6 -He does not keep the wicked alive, but He grants justice to the afflicted.
7 -He does not take His eyes off the righteous, but He enthrones them with kings and exalts them forever.
8 -And if men are bound with chains, caught in cords of affliction,
9 -then He tells them their deeds and how arrogantly they have transgressed.
10 -He opens their ears to correction and commands that they turn from iniquity.
11 -If they obey and serve Him, then they end their days in prosperity and their years in happiness.
12 -But if they do not obey, then they perish by the sword and die without knowledge.
13 -The godless in heart harbor resentment; even when He binds them, they do not cry for help.
14 -They die in their youth, among the male shrine prostitutes.
15 -God rescues the afflicted by their affliction and opens their ears in oppression.
16 -Indeed, He drew you from the jaws of distress to a spacious and broad place, to a table full of richness.
17 -But now you are laden with the judgment due the wicked; judgment and justice have seized you.
18 -Be careful that no one lures you with riches; do not let a large bribe lead you astray.
19 -Can your wealth or all your mighty effort keep you from distress?
20 -Do not long for the night, when people vanish from their homes.
21 -Be careful not to turn to iniquity, for this you have preferred to affliction.
22 -Behold, God is exalted in His power. Who is a teacher like Him?
23 -Who has appointed His way for Him, or told Him, ‘You have done wrong’?
24 -Remember to magnify His work, which men have praised in song.
25 -All mankind has seen it; men behold it from afar.
26 -Indeed, God is great—beyond our knowledge; the number of His years is unsearchable.
27 -For He draws up drops of water which distill the rain from the mist,
28 -which the clouds pour out and shower abundantly on mankind.
29 -Furthermore, who can understand how the clouds spread out, how the thunder roars from His pavilion?
30 -See how He scatters His lightning around Him and covers the depths of the sea.
31 -For by these He judges the nations and provides food in abundance.
32 -He fills His hands with lightning and commands it to strike its mark.
33 -The thunder declares His presence; even the cattle regard the rising storm.
