1Elihu also proceeded, and said,
2Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee
3I will fetch my knowledge from afar,
4For truly my words shall not be false:
5Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any:
6He preserveth not the life of the wicked:
7He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous:
8And if they be bound in fetters,
9Then he sheweth them their work,
10He openeth also their ear to discipline,
11If they obey and serve him,

17But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked:
18Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke:
19Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold,
20Desire not the night,
21Take heed, regard not iniquity:
22Behold, God exalteth by his power:
23Who hath enjoined him his way?
24Remember that thou magnify his work,
25Every man may see it;
26Behold, God is great, and we know him not,
27For he maketh small the drops of water:
28Which the clouds do drop
29Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds,
30Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it,
31For by them judgeth he the people;
32With clouds he covereth the light;
33The noise thereof sheweth concerning it,
