ELIHU also proceeded, and said,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014229">2</a>. Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God's behalf.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014230">3</a>. I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014231">4</a>. For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014232">5</a>. Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014233">6</a>. He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014234">7</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014235">8</a>. And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014236">9</a>. Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014237">10</a>. He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014238">11</a>. If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014239">12</a>. But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014240">13</a>. But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014241">14</a>. They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014242">15</a>. He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014243">16</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014244">17</a>. But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014245">18</a>. Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014246">19</a>. Will he esteem thy riches?  no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014247">20</a>. Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014248">21</a>. Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014249">22</a>. Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014250">23</a>. Who hath enjoined him his way?  or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014251">24</a>. Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014252">25</a>. Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014253">26</a>. Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014254">27</a>. For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014255">28</a>. Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014256">29</a>. Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014257">30</a>. Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014258">31</a>. For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014259">32</a>. With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014260">33</a>. The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.</li>
