Elihu Describes God's Power
1 Eliu also adding spake these words:📜💬📚
2 Bear with me a little, and I will shew to thee: for as yet I have what to speak for God.📜💬📚
3 I will repeat my knowledge from the beginning, and I will prove my maker just.📜💬📚
4 For indeed my words are without lie, & perfect knowledge shall be proved to thee.📜💬📚
5 God doth not cast away the mighty, whereas himself also is mighty.📜💬📚
6 But he saveth not the impious, and he giveth judgment to the poor.📜💬📚
7 He shall not take away his eyes from the just man, and he placeth kings in the throne for ever, and there they are extolled.📜💬📚
8 And if they shall be in chains, & be bound with the ropes of poverty.📜💬📚
9 He shall shew them their works, and their wicked deeds, because they have been violent.📜💬📚
10 He also shall reveal their ear, to chastise them: & shall speak, that they may return from iniquity:📜💬📚
11 If they shall hear and observe, they shall accomplish their days in good, and their years in glory.📜💬📚
12 But if they hear not, they shall pass by the sword, and shall be consumed in folly.📜💬📚
13 Dissemblers and crafty men provoke the wrath of God, neither shall they cry when they are bound.📜💬📚
14 Their soul shall die in tempest, and their life, among the effeminate.📜💬📚
15 He shall deliver the poor out of his distress, and shall reveal his ear in tribulation.📜💬📚
16 Therefore he shall save thee most largely out of the narrow mouth, and not having foundation under it: and the quietness of thy table shall be full of fatness.📜💬📚
17 Thy cause is judged as an impious man's, cause and judgment thou shalt receive.📜💬📚
18 Let not therefore anger overcome thee, that thou oppress any man: neither let multitude of gifts incline thee.📜💬📚
19 Lay down thy greatness without tribulation, & all the puissant of strength.📜💬📚
20 Protract not the night, that peoples may come up for them.📜💬📚
21 Beware thou decline not to iniquity: for thou hast begun to follow it after misery.📜💬📚
22 Behold, God is high in his strength, and none is like to him among the law givers.📜💬📚
23 Who can search his ways? Or who can say to him: Thou hast wrought iniquity?📜💬📚
24 Remember that thou knowest not his work, whereof men have song.📜💬📚
25 All men see him, every one beholdeth far off.📜💬📚
26 Behold, God is great surmounting our knowledge: the number of his years is inestimable.📜💬📚
27 Who taketh away the drops of rain, & poureth out showers as it were gifts of water.📜💬📚
28 Which flow out from the clouds, that cover all things from above.📜💬📚
29 If he will stretch forth clouds as his tent,📜💬📚
30 And lighten with his light from above, he shall cover also the ends of the sea.📜💬📚
31 For by these he judgeth peoples, and giveth victuals to many mortal men.📜💬📚
32 In his hands he hideth the light, & commandeth it that it come again.📜💬📚
33 He sheweth his friend thereof, that it is his possession, and that he may ascend to it.📜💬📚
