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}

With him is wisdomH2451 and strengthH1369, he hath counselH6098 and understandingH8394. {With…: that is, With God}
Behold, he breaketh downH2040, and it cannot be built againH1129: he shutteth upH5462 a manH376, and there can be no openingH6605. {up: Heb. upon}
Behold, he withholdethH6113 the watersH4325, and they dry upH3001: also he sendeth them outH7971, and they overturnH2015 the earthH776.
With him is strengthH5797 and wisdomH8454: the deceivedH7683 and the deceiverH7686 are his.
He leadethH3212 counsellorsH3289 away spoiledH7758, and maketh the judgesH8199 foolsH1984.
He loosethH6605 the bondH4148 of kingsH4428, and girdethH631 their loinsH4975 with a girdleH232.
He leadethH3212 princesH3548 away spoiledH7758, and overthrowethH5557 the mightyH386.
He removeth awayH5493 the speechH8193 of the trustyH539, and taketh awayH3947 the understandingH2940 of the agedH2205. {speech…: Heb. lip of the faithful}
He pourethH8210 contemptH937 upon princesH5081, and weakenethH7503 the strengthH4206 of the mightyH650. {weakeneth…: or, looseth the girdle of the strong}
He discoverethH1540 deep thingsH6013 out of darknessH2822, and bringeth outH3318 to lightH216 the shadow of deathH6757.
He increasethH7679 the nationsH1471, and destroyethH6 them: he enlargethH7849 the nationsH1471, and straitenethH5148 them again. {straiteneth: Heb. leadeth in}
He taketh awayH5493 the heartH3820 of the chiefH7218 of the peopleH5971 of the earthH776, and causeth them to wanderH8582 in a wildernessH8414 where there is no wayH1870.
They gropeH4959 in the darkH2822 without lightH216, and he maketh them to staggerH8582 like a drunkenH7910 man. {stagger: Heb. wander}
And lest thou lift upH5375 thine eyesH5869 unto heavenH8064, and when thou seestH7200 the sunH8121, and the moonH3394, and the starsH3556, even all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, shouldest be drivenH5080 to worshipH7812 them, and serveH5647 them, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath dividedH2505 unto all nationsH5971 under the whole heavenH8064. {divided: or, imparted}
DeadH7496 things are formedH2342 from under the watersH4325, and the inhabitantsH7931 thereof. {and the…: or, with the inhabitants}
HellH7585 is nakedH6174 before him, and destructionH11 hath no coveringH3682.
He stretcheth outH5186 the northH6828 over the empty placeH8414, and hangethH8518 the earthH776 upon nothingH1099.
He bindeth upH6887 the watersH4325 in his thick cloudsH5645; and the cloudH6051 is not rentH1234 under them.
He holdeth backH270 the faceH6440 of his throneH3678, and spreadethH6576 his cloudH6051 upon it.
He hath compassedH2328 the watersH6440+H4325 with boundsH2706, until the dayH216 and nightH2822 come to an endH8503. {until…: Heb. until the end of light with darkness}
The pillarsH5982 of heavenH8064 trembleH7322 and are astonishedH8539 at his reproofH1606.
He dividethH7280 the seaH3220 with his powerH3581, and by his understandingH8394+H8394 he smitethH4272 through the proudH7293. {the proud: Heb. pride}
By his spiritH7307 he hath garnishedH8235 the heavensH8064; his handH3027 hath formedH2342 the crookedH1281 serpentH5175.
Lo, these are partsH7098 of his waysH1870: but how littleH8102 a portionH1697 is heardH8085 of him? but the thunderH7482 of his powerH1369 who can understandH995?
To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. The heavensH8064 declareH5608 the gloryH3519 of GodH410; and the firmamentH7549 sheweth hisH5046 handyworkH4639+H3027.
DayH3117 unto dayH3117 utterethH5042 speechH562, and nightH3915 unto nightH3915 shewethH2331 knowledgeH1847.
There is no speechH562 nor languageH1697, where their voiceH6963 is not heardH8085. {where…: or, without these their voice is heard: Heb. without their voice heard}
Their lineH6957 is gone outH3318 through all the earthH776, and their wordsH4405 to the endH7097 of the worldH8398. In them hath he setH7760 a tabernacleH168 for the sunH8121, {line: or, rule, or, direction}
Because they regardH995 not the worksH6468 of the LORDH3068, nor the operationH4639 of his handsH3027, he shall destroyH2040 them, and not build them upH1129.
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, who only doethH6213 wondrous thingsH6381.
Among the godsH430 there is none like unto thee, O LordH136; neither are there any works like unto thy worksH4639.
All nationsH1471 whom thou hast madeH6213 shall comeH935 and worshipH7812 beforeH6440 thee, O LordH136; and shall glorifyH3513 thy nameH8034.
For thou art greatH1419, and doestH6213 wondrous thingsH6381: thou art GodH430 alone.
For thou, LORDH3068, hast made me gladH8055 through thy workH6467: I will triumphH7442 in the worksH4639 of thy handsH3027.
O LORDH3068, how manifoldH7231 are thy worksH4639! in wisdomH2451 hast thou madeH6213 them all: the earthH776 is fullH4390 of thy richesH7075.
Oh that men would praiseH3034 the LORDH3068 for his goodnessH2617, and for his wonderful worksH6381 to the childrenH1121 of menH120!
Oh that men would praiseH3034 the LORDH3068 for his goodnessH2617, and for his wonderful worksH6381 to the childrenH1121 of menH120!
The worksH4639 of the LORDH3068 are greatH1419, sought outH1875 of all them that have pleasureH2656 therein.
His workH6467 is honourableH1935 and gloriousH1926: and his righteousnessH6666 endurethH5975 for everH5703.
He hath madeH6213 his wonderful worksH6381 to be rememberedH2143: the LORDH3068 is graciousH2587 and full of compassionH7349.
They stand fastH5564 for everH5703 and everH5769, and are doneH6213 in truthH571 and uprightnessH3477. {stand…: Heb. are established}
All thy worksH4639 shall praiseH3034 thee, O LORDH3068; and thy saintsH2623 shall blessH1288 thee.
They shall speakH559 of the gloryH3519 of thy kingdomH4438, and talkH1696 of thy powerH1369;
To make knownH3045 to the sonsH1121 of menH120 his mighty actsH1369, and the gloriousH3519 majestyH1926 of his kingdomH4438.
He hath madeH6213 the earthH776 by his powerH3581, he hath establishedH3559 the worldH8398 by his wisdomH2451, and hath stretched outH5186 the heavensH8064 by his discretionH8394.
HowH4101 greatH7260 are his signsH852! and howH4101 mightyH8624 are his wondersH8540! his kingdomH4437 is an everlastingH5957 kingdomH4437, and his dominionH7985 is fromH5974 generationH1859 to generationH1859.
