[1] Elihu also continued, and said,
[2] “Bear with me a little, and I will show you;
for I still have something to say on God’s behalf.
[3] I will get my knowledge from afar,
and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
[4] For truly my words are not false.
One who is perfect in knowledge is with you. [5] “Behold, God is mighty, and doesn’t despise anyone.
He is mighty in strength of understanding.
[6] He doesn’t preserve the life of the wicked,
but gives justice to the afflicted.
[7] He doesn’t withdraw his eyes from the righteous,
but with kings on the throne,
he sets them forever, and they are exalted.
[8] If they are bound in fetters,
and are taken in the cords of afflictions,
[9] then he shows them their work,
and their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.
[10] He also opens their ears to instruction,
and commands that they return from iniquity.
[11] If they listen and serve him,
they will spend their days in prosperity,
and their years in pleasures.
[12] But if they don’t listen, they will perish by the sword;
they will die without knowledge. [13] “But those who are godless in heart lay up anger.
They don’t cry for help when he binds them.
[14] They die in youth.
Their life perishes among the unclean.
[15] He delivers the afflicted by their affliction,
and opens their ear in oppression.
[16] Yes, he would have allured you out of distress,
into a wide place, where there is no restriction.
That which is set on your table would be full of fatness. [17] “But you are full of the judgment of the wicked.
Judgment and justice take hold of you.
[18] Don’t let riches entice you to wrath,
neither let the great size of a bribe turn you aside.
[19] Would your wealth sustain you in distress,
or all the might of your strength?
[20] Don’t desire the night,
when people are cut off in their place.
[21] Take heed, don’t regard iniquity;
for you have chosen this rather than affliction.
[22] Behold, God is exalted in his power.
Who is a teacher like him?
[23] Who has prescribed his way for him?
Or who can say, ‘You have committed unrighteousness’? [24] “Remember that you magnify his work,
about which men have sung.
[25] All men have looked on it.
Man sees it afar off.
[26] Behold, God is great, and we don’t know him.
The number of his years is unsearchable.
[27] For he draws up the drops of water,
which distill in rain from his vapor,
[28] which the skies pour down
and which drop on man abundantly.
[29] Indeed, can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds
and the thunderings of his pavilion?
[30] Behold, he spreads his light around him.
He covers the bottom of the sea.
[31] For by these he judges the people.
He gives food in abundance.
[32] He covers his hands with the lightning,
and commands it to strike the mark.
[33] Its noise tells about him,
and the livestock also, concerning the storm that comes up.
[2] “Bear with me a little, and I will show you;
for I still have something to say on God’s behalf.
[3] I will get my knowledge from afar,
and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

King James Version
[1] ElihuH453 also proceeded,H3254(HiphImpf) and said,H559(QalImpf) [2] SufferH3803(PielImpv) me a little,H2191 and I will shewH2331(PielImpf) thee that [I have] yet to speakH4405 on God’sH433 behalf. [3] I will fetchH5375(QalImpf) my knowledgeH1843 from afar,H7350 and will ascribeH5414(QalImpf) righteousnessH6664 to my Maker.H6466(QalActPtc) [4] For trulyH551 my wordsH4405 [shall] not [be] false:H8267 he that is perfectH8549 in knowledgeH1844 [is] with thee. [5] Behold, GodH410 [is] mighty,H3524 and despisethH3988(QalImpf) not [any: he is] mightyH3524 in strengthH3581 [and] wisdom.H3820 [6] He preserveth not the lifeH2421(PielImpf) of the wicked:H7563 but givethH5414(QalImpf) rightH4941 to the poor.H6041 [7] He withdrawethH1639(QalImpf) not his eyesH5869 from the righteous:H6662 but with kingsH4428 [are they] on the throne;H3678 yea, he doth establishH3427(HiphImpf) them for ever,H5331 and they are exalted.H1361(QalImpf) [8] And if [they be] boundH631(QalPasPtc) in fetters,H2131 [and] be holdenH3920(NiphImpf) in cordsH2256 of affliction;H6040 [9] Then he shewethH5046(HiphImpf) them their work,H6467 and their transgressionsH6588 that they have exceeded.H1396(HithImpf) [10] He openethH1540(QalImpf) also their earH241 to discipline,H4148 and commandethH559(QalImpf) that they returnH7725(QalImpf) from iniquity.H205 [11] If they obeyH8085(QalImpf) and serveH5647(QalImpf) [him], they shall spendH3615(PielImpf) their daysH3117 in prosperity,H2896 and their yearsH8141 in pleasures.H5273 [12] But if they obeyH8085(QalImpf) not, they shall perishH5674(QalImpf) by the sword,H7973 and they shall dieH1478(QalImpf) without knowledge.H1847 [13] But the hypocritesH2611 in heartH3820 heap upH7760(QalImpf) wrath:H639 they cryH7768(PielImpf) not when he bindethH631(QalPerf) them. [14] TheyH5315 dieH4191(QalImpf) in youth,H5290 and their lifeH2416 [is] among the unclean.H6945 [15] He deliverethH2502(PielImpf) the poorH6041 in his affliction,H6040 and openethH1540(QalImpf) their earsH241 in oppression.H3906 [16] Even so would he have removedH5496(HiphPerf) thee out of the straitH6310 [into] a broad place,H7338 whereH8478 [there is] no straitness;H4164 and that which should be setH5183 on thy tableH7979 [should be] fullH4390(QalPerf) of fatness.H1880 [17] But thou hast fulfilledH4390(QalPerf) the judgmentH1779 of the wicked:H7563 judgmentH1779 and justiceH4941 take holdH8551(QalImpf) [on thee]. [18] Because [there is] wrath,H2534 [beware] lest he take thee awayH5496(HiphImpf) with [his] stroke:H5607 then a greatH7230 ransomH3724 cannot deliverH5186(HiphImpf) thee. [19] Will he esteemH6186(QalImpf) thy riches?H7769 [no], not gold,H1222 nor all the forcesH3981 of strength.H3581 [20] DesireH7602(QalImpf) not the night,H3915 when peopleH5971 are cut offH5927(QalInf) in their place. [21] Take heed,H8104(NiphImpv) regardH6437(QalImpf) not iniquity:H205 for this hast thou chosenH977(QalPerf) rather than affliction.H6040 [22] Behold, GodH410 exaltethH7682(HiphImpf) by his power:H3581 who teachethH3384(HiphPtc) like him? [23] Who hath enjoinedH6485(QalPerf) him his way?H1870 or who can say,H559(QalPerf) Thou hast wroughtH6466(QalPerf) iniquity?H5766 [24] RememberH2142(QalImpv) that thou magnifyH7679(HiphImpf) his work,H6467 which menH582 behold.H7891(PolePerf) [25] Every manH120 may seeH2372(QalPerf) it; manH582 may beholdH5027(HiphImpf) [it] afar off.H7350 [26] Behold, GodH410 [is] great,H7689 and we knowH3045(QalImpf) [him] not, neither can the numberH4557 of his yearsH8141 be searched out.H2714 [27] For he maketh smallH1639(PielImpf) the dropsH5198 of water:H4325 they pour downH2212(QalImpf) rainH4306 according to the vapourH108 thereof: [28] Which the cloudsH7834 do dropH5140(QalImpf) [and] distilH7491(QalImpf) upon manH120 abundantly.H7227 [29] Also can [any] understandH995(QalImpf) the spreadingsH4666 of the clouds,H5645 [or] the noiseH8663 of his tabernacle?H5521 [30] Behold, he spreadethH6566(QalPerf) his lightH216 upon it, and coverethH3680(PielPerf) the bottomH8328 of the sea.H3220 [31] For by them judgethH1777(QalImpf) he the people;H5971 he givethH5414(QalImpf) meatH400 in abundance.H4342(HiphPtc) [32] With cloudsH3709 he coverethH3680(PielPerf) the light;H216 and commandethH6680(PielImpf) it [not to shine] by [the cloud] that cometh betwixt.H6293(HiphPtc) [33] The noiseH7452 thereof shewethH5046(HiphImpf) concerning it, the cattleH4735 also concerning the vapour.H5927(QalActPtc)
