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 shall he speakH1696 unto them in his wrathH639, and vexH926 them in his sore displeasureH2740. {vex: or, trouble}
RemoveH5493 thy strokeH5061 awayH5493 from me: I am consumedH3615 by the blowH8409 of thine handH3027. {blow: Heb. conflict}
Then he is graciousH2603 unto him, and saithH559, DeliverH6308 him from going downH3381 to the pitH7845: I have foundH4672 a ransomH3724. {a ransom: or, an atonement}
KissH5401 the SonH1248, lest he be angryH599, and ye perishH6 from the wayH1870, when his wrathH639 is kindledH1197 but a littleH4592. BlessedH835 are all they that put their trustH2620 in him.
He who smoteH5221 the peopleH5971 in wrathH5678 with a continualH1115+H5627 strokeH4347, he that ruledH7287 the nationsH1471 in angerH639, is persecutedH4783, and noneH1097 hinderethH2820. {a continual…: Heb. a stroke without removing}
None of them canH376 by any meansH6299 redeemH6299 his brotherH251, nor giveH5414 to GodH430 a ransomH3724 for him:
The LordH136 at thy right handH3225 shall strikeH4272 through kingsH4428 in the dayH3117 of his wrathH639.
SonH1121 of manH120, behold, I take awayH3947 from thee the desireH4261 of thine eyesH5869 with a strokeH4046: yet neither shalt thou mournH5594 nor weepH1058, neither shall thy tearsH1832 run downH935. {run down: Heb. go}
ButG1161 when he sawG1492 manyG4183 of the PhariseesG5330 andG2532 SadduceesG4523 comeG2064 toG1909 hisG846 baptismG908, he saidG2036 unto themG846, O generationG1081 of vipersG2191, whoG5101 hath warnedG5263 youG5213 to fleeG5343 fromG575 the wrathG3709 to comeG3195?
WhoG3588 gaveG1325 himselfG1438 a ransomG487 forG5228 allG3956, to be testifiedG3142 in dueG2398 timeG2540. {to…: or, a testimony}
ForG1063 the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 is revealedG601 fromG575 heavenG3772 againstG1909 allG3956 ungodlinessG763 andG2532 unrighteousnessG93 of menG444, who holdG2722 the truthG225 inG1722 unrighteousnessG93;
HowG4459 shall weG2249 escapeG1628, if we neglectG272 so greatG5082 salvationG4991; whichG3748 at the firstG746 beganG2983 to be spokenG2980 byG1223 the LordG2962, and was confirmedG950 untoG1519 usG2248 byG5259 them that heardG191 him;
