World English Bible Classic
[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.
King James Version
[1] Elihu H453 also proceeded, H3254 and said, H559
[2] Suffer H3803 me a little, H2191 and I will shew H2331 thee
That I have yet to speak H4405 on God’s H433 behalf.
[3] I will fetch H5375 my knowledge H1843 from afar, H7350
And will ascribe H5414 righteousness H6664 to my Maker. H6466
[4] For H3588 truly H551 my words H4405 shall not be false: H8267
He that is perfect H8549 in knowledge H1844 is with thee.
[5] Behold, God H410 is mighty, H3524 and despiseth H3988 not any:
He is mighty H3524 in strength H3581 and wisdom. H3820§
[6] He preserveth not the life H2421 of the wicked: H7563
But giveth H5414 right H4941 to the poor. H6041§
[7] He withdraweth H1639 not H3808 his eyes H5869 from the righteous: H6662
But with kings H4428 are they on the throne; H3678
Yea, he doth establish H3427 them for ever, H5331 and they are exalted. H1361
[8] And if they be bound H631 in fetters, H2131
And be holden H3920 in cords H2256 of affliction; H6040
[9] Then he sheweth H5046 them their work, H6467
And their transgressions H6588 that they have exceeded. H1396
[10] He openeth H1540 also their ear H241 to discipline, H4148
And commandeth H559 that they return H7725 from iniquity. H205
[11] If they obey H8085 and serve H5647 him,
They shall spend H3615 their days H3117 in prosperity, H2896
And their years H8141 in pleasures. H5273
[12] But if they obey H8085 not, they shall perish H5674 by the sword, H7973§
And they shall die H1478 without knowledge. H1847
[13] But the hypocrites H2611 in heart H3820 heap up H7760 wrath: H639
They cry H7768 not H3808 when he bindeth H631 them.
[14] They H5315 die H4191§ in youth, H5290
And their life H2416 is among the unclean. H6945§
[15] He delivereth H2502 the poor H6041§ in his affliction, H6040
And openeth H1540 their ears H241 in oppression. H3906
[16] Even so would he have removed H5496 thee out of the strait H6310
H6862 Into a broad place, H7338 where H8478 there is no straitness; H4164
And that which should be set H5183 on thy table H7979§ should be full H4390 of fatness. H1880
[17] But thou hast fulfilled H4390 the judgment H1779 of the wicked: H7563
Judgment H1779 and justice H4941 take hold H8551 on thee.§
[18] Because there is wrath, H2534 beware lest he take thee away H5496 with his stroke: H5607
Then a great H7230 ransom H3724 cannot deliver H5186 thee.§
[19] Will he esteem H6186 thy riches? H7769 no, not gold, H1222
Nor all the forces H3981 of strength. H3581
[20] Desire H7602 not H408 the night, H3915
When people H5971 are cut off H5927 in their place.
[21] Take heed, H8104 regard H6437 not H408 iniquity: H205
For H3588 this H2088 hast thou chosen H977 rather than affliction. H6040
[22] Behold, God H410 exalteth H7682 by his power: H3581
Who teacheth H3384 like him?
[23] Who hath enjoined H6485 him his way? H1870
Or who can say, H559 Thou hast wrought H6466 iniquity? H5766
[24] Remember H2142 that thou magnify H7679 his work, H6467
Which H834 men H582 behold. H7891
[25] Every H3605 man H120 may see H2372 it;
Man H582 may behold H5027 it afar off. H7350
[26] Behold, God H410 is great, H7689 and we know H3045 him not,
Neither can the number H4557 of his years H8141 be searched out. H2714
[27] For H3588 he maketh small H1639 the drops H5198 of water: H4325
They pour down H2212 rain H4306 according to the vapour H108 thereof:
[28] Which H834 the clouds H7834 do drop H5140
And distil H7491 upon H5921 man H120 abundantly. H7227
[29] Also can any understand H995 the spreadings H4666 of the clouds, H5645
Or the noise H8663 of his tabernacle? H5521
[30] Behold, he spreadeth H6566 his light H216 upon H5921 it,
And covereth H3680 the bottom H8328§ of the sea. H3220
[31] For H3588 by them judgeth H1777 he the people; H5971
He giveth H5414 meat H400 in abundance. H4342
[32] With clouds H3709 he covereth H3680 the light; H216
And commandeth H6680 it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt. H6293
[33] The noise H7452 thereof sheweth H5046 concerning H5921 it,
The cattle H4735 also concerning the vapour. H5927§

G2480 [10] Ἀλλὰ G235 τοῦ G3588 δικαίου G1342 εἰσακούσεται· G1522 καὶ G2532 εἶπεν G2036 ὅτι G3754 ἐπιστραφήσονται G1994 ἐξ G1537 ἀδικίας.
