• 1. Elihu continued:

• 2. "Bear with me a little longer and I will show you that there is more to be said in God's behalf.

• 3. I get my knowledge from afar; I will ascribe justice to my Maker.

• 4. Be assured that my words are not false; one perfect in knowledge is with you.

• 5. "God is mighty, but does not despise men; he is mighty, and firm in his purpose.

• 6. He does not keep the wicked alive but gives the afflicted their rights.

• 7. He does not take his eyes off the righteous; he enthrones them with kings and exalts them forever.

• 8. But if men are bound in chains, held fast by cords of affliction,

• 9. he tells them what they have done--that they have sinned arrogantly.

• 10. He makes them listen to correction and commands them to repent of their evil.

• 11. If they obey and serve him, they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity and their years in contentment.

• 12. But if they do not listen, they will perish by the sword and die without knowledge.

• 13. "The godless in heart harbor resentment; even when he fetters them, they do not cry for help.

• 14. They die in their youth, among male prostitutes of the shrines.

• 15. But those who suffer he delivers in their suffering; he speaks to them in their affliction.

• 16. "He is wooing you from the jaws of distress to a spacious place free from restriction, to the comfort of your table laden with choice food.

• 17. But now you are laden with the judgment due the wicked; judgment and justice have taken hold of you.

• 18. Be careful that no one entices you by riches; do not let a large bribe turn you aside.

• 19. Would your wealth or even all your mighty efforts sustain you so you would not be in distress?

• 20. Do not long for the night, to drag people away from their homes.

• 21. Beware of turning to evil, which you seem to prefer to affliction.

• 22. "God is exalted in his power. Who is a teacher like him?

• 23. Who has prescribed his ways for him, or said to him, 'You have done wrong'?

• 24. Remember to extol his work, which men have praised in song.

• 25. All mankind has seen it; men gaze on it from afar.

• 26. How great is God--beyond our understanding! The number of his years is past finding out.

• 27. "He draws up the drops of water, which distill as rain to the streams;

• 28. the clouds pour down their moisture and abundant showers fall on mankind.

• 29. Who can understand how he spreads out the clouds, how he thunders from his pavilion?

• 30. See how he scatters his lightning about him, bathing the depths of the sea.

• 31. This is the way he governs the nations and provides food in abundance.

• 32. He fills his hands with lightning and commands it to strike its mark.

• 33. His thunder announces the coming storm; even the cattle make known its approach.
