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}

He hath fenced upH1443 my wayH734 that I cannot passH5674, and he hath setH7760 darknessH2822 in my pathsH5410.
Thou preparestH6186 a tableH7979 beforeH6440 me in the presence of mine enemiesH6887: thou anointestH1878 my headH7218 with oilH8081; my cupH3563 runneth overH7310. {anointest: Heb. makest fat}
And the LORDH3068 turnedH7725 the captivityH7622+H7622 of JobH347, when he prayedH6419 for his friendsH7453: also the LORDH3068 gaveH3254 JobH347 twice as muchH4932 as he had before. {gave…: Heb. added all that had been to Job unto the double}
Then cameH935 there unto him all his brethrenH251, and all his sistersH269, and all they that had been of his acquaintanceH3045 beforeH6440, and did eatH398 breadH3899 with him in his houseH1004: and they bemoanedH5110 him, and comfortedH5162 him over all the evilH7451 that the LORDH3068 had broughtH935 upon him: every manH376 also gaveH5414 him aH259 piece of moneyH7192, and every oneH376 an earringH5141 of goldH2091.
So the LORDH3068 blessedH1288 the latter endH319 of JobH347 more than his beginningH7225: for he had fourteenH702+H6240 thousandH505 sheepH6629, and sixH8337 thousandH505 camelsH1581, and a thousandH505 yokeH6776 of oxenH1241, and a thousandH505 she assesH860.
He had also sevenH7658 sonsH1121 and threeH7969 daughtersH1323.
And he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the firstH259, JemimaH3224; and the nameH8034 of the secondH8145, KeziaH7103; and the nameH8034 of the thirdH7992, KerenhappuchH7163.
And in all the landH776 were no womenH802 foundH4672 so fairH3303 as the daughtersH1323 of JobH347: and their fatherH1 gaveH5414 them inheritanceH5159 amongH8432 their brethrenH251.
AfterH310 this livedH2421 JobH347 an hundredH3967 and fortyH705 yearsH8141, and sawH7200 his sonsH1121, and his sons'H1121 sonsH1121, even fourH702 generationsH1755.
So JobH347 diedH4191, being oldH2205 and fullH7649 of daysH3117.
They shall be abundantly satisfiedH7301 with the fatnessH1880 of thy houseH1004; and thou shalt make them drinkH8248 of the riverH5158 of thy pleasuresH5730. {abundantly…: Heb. watered}
He brought me forthH3318 also into a large placeH4800; he deliveredH2502 me, because he delightedH2654 in me.
My soulH5315 shall be satisfiedH7646 as with marrowH2459 and fatnessH1880; and my mouthH6310 shall praiseH1984 thee with joyfulH7445 lipsH8193: {marrow: Heb. fatness}
And hast not shut me upH5462 into the handH3027 of the enemyH341: thou hast setH5975 my feetH7272 in a large roomH4800.
And in this mountainH2022 shall the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 makeH6213 unto all peopleH5971 a feastH4960 of fat thingsH8081, a feastH4960 of wines on the leesH8105, of fat thingsH8081 full of marrowH4229, of wines on the leesH8105 well refinedH2212.
To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. I waitedH6960 patientlyH6960 for the LORDH3068; and he inclinedH5186 unto me, and heardH8085 my cryH7775. {I waited…: Heb. In waiting I waited}
He brought me upH5927 also out of an horribleH7588 pitH953, out of the miryH3121 clayH2916, and setH6965 my feetH7272 upon a rockH5553, and establishedH3559 my goingsH838. {an…: Heb. a pit of noise}
And he hath putH5414 a newH2319 songH7892 in my mouthH6310, even praiseH8416 unto our GodH430: manyH7227 shall seeH7200 it, and fearH3372, and shall trustH982 in the LORDH3068.
