ElihuH453 also proceededH3254, and saidH559,
SufferH3803 me a littleH2191, and I will shewH2331 thee that I have yet to speakH4405 on God'sH433 behalf. {I have…: Heb. there are yet words for God}
I will fetchH5375 my knowledgeH1843 from afarH7350, and will ascribeH5414 righteousnessH6664 to my MakerH6466.
For trulyH551 my wordsH4405 shall not be falseH8267: he that is perfectH8549 in knowledgeH1844 is with thee.
Behold, GodH410 is mightyH3524, and despisethH3988 not any: he is mightyH3524 in strengthH3581 and wisdomH3820. {wisdom: Heb. heart}
He preserveth not the lifeH2421 of the wickedH7563: but givethH5414 rightH4941 to the poorH6041. {poor: or, afflicted}
He withdrawethH1639 not his eyesH5869 from the righteousH6662: but with kingsH4428 are they on the throneH3678; yea, he doth establishH3427 them for everH5331, and they are exaltedH1361.
And if they be boundH631 in fettersH2131, and be holdenH3920 in cordsH2256 of afflictionH6040;
Then he shewethH5046 them their workH6467, and their transgressionsH6588 that they have exceededH1396.
He openethH1540 also their earH241 to disciplineH4148, and commandethH559 that they returnH7725 from iniquityH205.
If they obeyH8085 and serveH5647 him, they shall spendH3615 their daysH3117 in prosperityH2896, and their yearsH8141 in pleasuresH5273.
But if they obeyH8085 not, they shall perishH5674 by the swordH7973, and they shall dieH1478 without knowledgeH1847. {perish: Heb. pass away}
But the hypocritesH2611 in heartH3820 heap upH7760 wrathH639: they cryH7768 not when he bindethH631 them.
TheyH5315 dieH4191 in youthH5290, and their lifeH2416 is among the uncleanH6945. {They…: Heb. Their soul dieth} {unclean: or, sodomites}
He deliverethH2502 the poorH6041 in his afflictionH6040, and openethH1540 their earsH241 in oppressionH3906. {poor: or, afflicted}
Even so would he have removedH5496 thee out of the straitH6310+H6862 into a broad placeH7338, whereH8478 there is no straitnessH4164; and that which should be setH5183 on thy tableH7979 should be fullH4390 of fatnessH1880. {that…: Heb. the rest of thy table}
But thou hast fulfilledH4390 the judgmentH1779 of the wickedH7563: judgmentH1779 and justiceH4941 take holdH8551 on thee. {take…: or, should uphold thee}
Because there is wrathH2534, beware lest he take thee awayH5496 with his strokeH5607: then a greatH7230 ransomH3724 cannot deliverH5186 thee. {deliver…: Heb. turn thee aside}
Will he esteemH6186 thy richesH7769? no, not goldH1222, nor all the forcesH3981 of strengthH3581.
DesireH7602 not the nightH3915, when peopleH5971 are cut offH5927 in their place.
Take heedH8104, regardH6437 not iniquityH205: for this hast thou chosenH977 rather than afflictionH6040.
Behold, GodH410 exaltethH7682 by his powerH3581: who teachethH3384 like him?
Who hath enjoinedH6485 him his wayH1870? or who can sayH559, Thou hast wroughtH6466 iniquityH5766?
RememberH2142 that thou magnifyH7679 his workH6467, which menH582 beholdH7891.
Every manH120 may seeH2372 it; manH582 may beholdH5027 it afar offH7350.
Behold, GodH410 is greatH7689, and we knowH3045 him not, neither can the numberH4557 of his yearsH8141 be searched outH2714.
For he maketh smallH1639 the dropsH5198 of waterH4325: they pour downH2212 rainH4306 according to the vapourH108 thereof:
Which the cloudsH7834 do dropH5140 and distilH7491 upon manH120 abundantlyH7227.
Also can any understandH995 the spreadingsH4666 of the cloudsH5645, or the noiseH8663 of his tabernacleH5521?
Behold, he spreadethH6566 his lightH216 upon it, and coverethH3680 the bottomH8328 of the seaH3220. {bottom: Heb. roots}
For by them judgethH1777 he the peopleH5971; he givethH5414 meatH400 in abundanceH4342.
With cloudsH3709 he coverethH3680 the lightH216; and commandethH6680 it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixtH6293.
The noiseH7452 thereof shewethH5046 concerning it, the cattleH4735 also concerning the vapourH5927. {the vapour: Heb. that which goeth up}

Then was kindledH2734 the wrathH639 of ElihuH453 the sonH1121 of BarachelH1292 the BuziteH940, of the kindredH4940 of RamH7410: against JobH347 was his wrathH639 kindledH2734, because he justifiedH6663 himselfH5315 rather than GodH430. {himself: Heb. his soul}
ManH582 knowethH3045 not the priceH6187 thereof; neither is it foundH4672 in the landH776 of the livingH2416.
WhenceH370 then comethH935 wisdomH2451? and where is the placeH4725 of understandingH998?
Seeing it is hidH5956 from the eyesH5869 of all livingH2416, and kept closeH5641 from the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064. {air: or, heaven}
DestructionH11 and deathH4194 sayH559, We have heardH8085 the fameH8088 thereof with our earsH241.
GodH430 understandethH995 the wayH1870 thereof, and he knowethH3045 the placeH4725 thereof.
For he lookethH5027 to the endsH7098 of the earthH776, and seethH7200 under the whole heavenH8064;
Therefore hearkenH8085 unto me, ye menH582 of understandingH3824: far be itH2486 from GodH410, that he should do wickednessH7562; and from the AlmightyH7706, that he should commit iniquityH5766. {men…: Heb. men of heart}
For the workH6467 of a manH120 shall he renderH7999 unto him, and cause every manH376 to findH4672 according to his waysH734.
Yea, surelyH551 GodH410 will not do wickedlyH7561, neither will the AlmightyH7706 pervertH5791 judgmentH4941.
ButH403 there is a spiritH7307 in manH582: and the inspirationH5397 of the AlmightyH7706 giveth them understandingH995.
He is the RockH6697, his workH6467 is perfectH8549: for all his waysH1870 are judgmentH4941: a GodH410 of truthH530 and without iniquityH5766, justH6662 and rightH3477 is he.
For the righteousH6662 LORDH3068 lovethH157 righteousnessH6666; his countenanceH6440 doth beholdH2372 the uprightH3477.
Then shalt thou understandH995 the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068, and findH4672 the knowledgeH1847 of GodH430.
The LORDH3068 is righteousH6662 in all his waysH1870, and holyH2623 in all his worksH4639. {holy: or, merciful, or, bountiful}
NowG1161 when JesusG2424 was bornG1080 inG1722 BethlehemG965 of JudaeaG2449 inG1722 the daysG2250 of HerodG2264 the kingG935, beholdG2400, there cameG3854 wise menG3097 fromG575 the eastG395 toG1519 JerusalemG2414,
RighteousH6662 art thou, O LORDH3068, when I pleadH7378 with thee: yet let me talkH1696 with thee of thy judgmentsH4941: Wherefore doth the wayH1870 of the wickedH7563 prosperH6743? wherefore are all they happyH7951 that deal veryH899 treacherouslyH898? {talk…: or, reason the case with thee}
SayingG3004, WhereG4226 isG2076 he that is bornG5088 KingG935 of the JewsG2453? forG1063 we have seenG1492 hisG846 starG792 inG1722 the eastG395, andG2532 are comeG2064 to worshipG4352 himG846.
O LordH136, righteousnessH6666 belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusionH1322 of facesH6440, as at this dayH3117; to the menH376 of JudahH3063, and to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and unto all IsraelH3478, that are nearH7138, and that are far offH7350, through all the countriesH776 whither thou hast drivenH5080 them, because of their trespassH4604 that they have trespassedH4603 against thee. {belongeth…: or, thou hast}
The queenG938 of the southG3558 shall rise upG1453 inG1722 the judgmentG2920 withG3326 thisG5026 generationG1074, andG2532 shall condemnG2632 itG846: forG3754 she cameG2064 fromG1537 the uttermost partsG4009 of the earthG1093 to hearG191 the wisdomG4678 of SolomonG4672; andG2532, beholdG2400, a greater thanG4119 SolomonG4672 is hereG5602.
Therefore hath the LORDH3068 watchedH8245 upon the evilH7451, and broughtH935 it upon us: for the LORDH3068 our GodH430 is righteousH6662 in all his worksH4639 which he doethH6213: for we obeyedH8085 not his voiceH6963.
AndG2532 he aroseG450 and wentG4198: andG2532, beholdG2400, a manG435 of EthiopiaG128, an eunuchG2135 of great authorityG1413 under CandaceG2582 queenG938 of the EthiopiansG128, whoG3739 hadG2258 the charge ofG1909 allG3956 herG846 treasureG1047, andG3739 had comeG2064 toG1519 JerusalemG2419 for to worshipG4352,
WasG2258 returningG5290, andG2532 sittingG2521 inG1909 hisG846 chariotG716+G2532 readG314 EsaiasG2268 the prophetG4396.
ThenG1161 the SpiritG4151 saidG2036 unto PhilipG5376, Go nearG4334, andG2532 join thyself toG2853 thisG5129 chariotG716.
AndG1161 PhilipG5376 ranG4370 thither to him, and heardG191 himG846 readG314 the prophetG4396 EsaiasG2268, andG2532 saidG2036, Understandest thouG687+G1065+G1097 whatG3739 thou readestG314?
AndG1161 he saidG2036, HowG1063+G4459 can IG302+G1410, exceptG3362 some manG5100 should guideG3594 meG3165? AndG5037 he desiredG3870 PhilipG5376 that he would come upG305 and sitG2523 withG4862 himG846.
The placeG4042 of the scriptureG1124 whichG3739 he readG314 wasG2258 thisG3778, He was ledG71 asG5613 a sheepG4263 toG1909 the slaughterG4967; andG2532 likeG5613 a lambG286 dumbG880 beforeG1726 hisG846 shearerG2751, soG3779 opened heG455 notG3756 hisG846 mouthG4750:
InG1722 hisG846 humiliationG5014 hisG846 judgmentG2920 was taken awayG142: andG1161 whoG5101 shall declareG1334 hisG846 generationG1074? forG3754 hisG846 lifeG2222 is takenG142 fromG575 the earthG1093.
AndG1161 the eunuchG2135 answeredG611 PhilipG5376, and saidG2036, I prayG1189 theeG4675, ofG4012 whomG5101 speakethG3004 the prophetG4396 thisG5124? ofG4012 himselfG1438, orG2228 ofG4012 someG5100 other manG2087?
ThenG1161 PhilipG5376 openedG455 hisG846 mouthG4750, andG2532 beganG756 atG575 the sameG5026 scriptureG1124, and preachedG2097 unto himG846 JesusG2424.
AndG1161 asG5613 they wentG4198 onG2596 their wayG3598, they cameG2064 untoG1909 a certainG5100 waterG5204: andG2532 the eunuchG2135 saidG5346, SeeG2400, here is waterG5204; whatG5101 doth hinderG2967 meG3165 to be baptizedG907?
AndG1161 PhilipG5376 saidG2036, IfG1487 thou believestG4100 withG1537 all thineG3650 heartG2588, thou mayestG1832. AndG1161 he answeredG611 and saidG2036, I believeG4100 that JesusG2424 ChristG5547 isG1511 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.
AndG2532 he commandedG2753 the chariotG716 to stand stillG2476: andG2532 they went downG2597 bothG297 intoG1519 the waterG5204, bothG5037 PhilipG5376 andG2532 the eunuchG2135; andG2532 he baptizedG907 himG846.
AndG1161 whenG3753 they were come upG305 out ofG1537 the waterG5204, the SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962 caught awayG726 PhilipG5376+G2532, that the eunuchG2135 sawG1492+G3756 himG846 no moreG3765: andG1063 he wentG4198 on hisG846 wayG3598 rejoicingG5463.
ButG1161 PhilipG5376 was foundG2147 atG1519 AzotusG108: andG2532 passingG1330 through he preachedG2097 in allG3956 the citiesG4172, tillG2193 heG846 cameG2064 toG1519 CaesareaG2542.
WhomG3739 GodG2316 hath set forthG4388 to be a propitiationG2435 throughG1223 faithG4102 inG1722 hisG846 bloodG129, toG1519 declareG1732 hisG846 righteousnessG1343 forG1223 the remissionG3929 of sinsG265 that are pastG4266, throughG1722 the forbearanceG463 of GodG2316; {set forth: or, foreordained} {remission: or, passing over}
ButG1161 the righteousnessG1343 which is ofG1537 faithG4102 speakethG3004 on this wiseG3779, SayG2036 notG3361 inG1722 thineG4675 heartG2588, WhoG5101 shall ascendG305 intoG1519 heavenG3772? (that isG5123, to bringG2609 ChristG5547 downG2609 from above:)
OrG2228, WhoG5101 shall descendG2597 intoG1519 the deepG12? (that isG5123, to bring upG321 ChristG5547 againG321 fromG1537 the deadG3498.)
ButG235 whatG5101 saith itG3004? The wordG4487 isG2076 nighG1451 theeG4675, even inG1722 thyG4675 mouthG4750, andG2532 inG1722 thyG4675 heartG2588: that isG5123, the wordG4487 of faithG4102, whichG3739 we preachG2784;
ToG4314 declareG1732, I say, atG1722 thisG3568 timeG2540 hisG846 righteousnessG1343: thatG1519 he might beG1511 justG1342, andG2532 the justifierG1344 of himG846 which believethG4102 inG1537 JesusG2424.
If anyG1536 of youG5216 lackG3007 wisdomG4678, let him askG154 ofG3844 GodG2316, that givethG1325 to allG3956 men liberallyG574, andG2532 upbraidethG3679 notG3361; andG2532 it shall be givenG1325 himG846.
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767+G3361? Is there unrighteousnessG93 withG3844 GodG2316? God forbidG3361+G1096.
EveryG3956 goodG18 giftG1394 andG2532 everyG3956 perfectG5046 giftG1434 isG2076 from aboveG509, and cometh downG2597 fromG575 the FatherG3962 of lightsG5457, withG3844 whomG3739 isG1762 noG3756 variablenessG3883, neitherG2228 shadowG644 of turningG5157.
AndG2532 they singG103 the songG5603 of MosesG3475 the servantG1401 of GodG2316, andG2532 the songG5603 of the LambG721, sayingG3004, GreatG3173 andG2532 marvellousG2298 are thyG4675 worksG2041, LordG2962 GodG2316 AlmightyG3841; justG1342 andG2532 trueG228 are thyG4675 waysG3598, thou KingG935 of saintsG40. {saints: or, nations, or, ages}
