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}

Dost thou knowH3045 the balancingsH4657 of the cloudsH5645, the wondrous worksH4652 of him which is perfectH8549 in knowledgeH1843?
HearH8085 attentivelyH8085 the noiseH7267 of his voiceH6963, and the soundH1899 that goeth outH3318 of his mouthH6310. {Hear…: Heb. Hear in hearing}
He directethH3474 itH8281 under the whole heavenH8064, and his lightningH216 unto the endsH3671 of the earthH776. {lightning: Heb. light} {ends: Heb. wings}
AfterH310 it a voiceH6963 roarethH7580: he thunderethH7481 with the voiceH6963 of his excellencyH1347; and he will not stayH6117 them when his voiceH6963 is heardH8085.
GodH410 thunderethH7481 marvellouslyH6381 with his voiceH6963; great thingsH1419 doethH6213 he, which we cannot comprehendH3045.
When I madeH7760 the cloudH6051 the garmentH3830 thereof, and thick darknessH6205 a swaddlingbandH2854 for it,
The LORDH3068 also thunderedH7481 in the heavensH8064, and the HighestH5945 gaveH5414 his voiceH6963; hailH1259 stones and coalsH1513 of fireH784.
Who can numberH5608 the cloudsH7834 in wisdomH2451? or who can stayH7901 the bottlesH5035 of heavenH8064, {stay: Heb. cause to lie down}
The voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 is upon the watersH4325: the GodH410 of gloryH3519 thunderethH7481: the LORDH3068 is upon manyH7227 watersH4325. {many: or, great}
The voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 is powerfulH3581; the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 is full of majestyH1926. {powerful: Heb. in power} {full…: Heb. in majesty}
The voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 breakethH7665 the cedarsH730; yea, the LORDH3068 breakethH7665 the cedarsH730 of LebanonH3844.
He maketh them also to skipH7540 like a calfH5695; LebanonH3844 and SirionH8303 like a youngH1121 unicornH7214.
The voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 dividethH2672 the flamesH3852 of fireH784. {divideth: Heb. cutteth out}
The voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 shakethH2342 the wildernessH4057; the LORDH3068 shakethH2342 the wildernessH4057 of KadeshH6946.
The voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 maketh the hindsH355 to calveH2342, and discoverethH2834 the forestsH3295: and in his templeH1964 doth every one speakH559 of his gloryH3519. {to calve: or, to be in pain} {doth…: or, every whit of it uttereth, etc}
The LORDH3068 sittethH3427 upon the floodH3999; yea, the LORDH3068 sittethH3427 KingH4428 for everH5769.
And it came to pass at the seventh timeH7637, that he saidH559, Behold, there arisethH5927 a littleH6996 cloudH5645 out of the seaH3220, like a man'sH376 handH3709. And he saidH559, Go upH5927, sayH559 unto AhabH256, PrepareH631 thy chariot, and get thee downH3381, that the rainH1653 stopH6113 thee not. {Prepare: Heb. Tie, or, Bind}
The watersH4325 sawH7200 thee, O GodH430, the watersH4325 sawH7200 thee; they were afraidH2342: the depthsH8415 also were troubledH7264.
The cloudsH5645 poured outH2229 waterH4325: the skiesH7834 sent outH5414 a soundH6963: thine arrowsH2687 also went abroadH1980. {poured…: Heb. were poured forth with water}
The voiceH6963 of thy thunderH7482 was in the heavenH1534: the lightningsH1300 lightenedH215 the worldH8398: the earthH776 trembledH7264 and shookH7493.
Thy wayH1870 is in the seaH3220, and thy pathH7635 in the greatH7227 watersH4325, and thy footstepsH6119 are not knownH3045.
And it came to pass in the mean whileH3541, that the heavenH8064 was blackH6937 with cloudsH5645 and windH7307, and there was a greatH1419 rainH1653. And AhabH256 rodeH7392, and wentH3212 to JezreelH3157.
AtH4480 thy rebukeH1606 they fledH5127; at the voiceH6963 of thy thunderH7482 they hastedH2648 away.
Who layeth the beamsH7136 of his chambersH5944 in the watersH4325: who makethH7760 the cloudsH5645 his chariotH7398: who walkethH1980 upon the wingsH3671 of the windH7307:
