1 And Elihu went on to say,2 Give me a little more time, and I will make it clear to you; for I have still something to say for God.3 I will get my knowledge from far, and I will give righteousness to my Maker.4 For truly my words are not false; one who has all knowledge is talking with you.5 Truly, God gives up the hard-hearted, and will not give life to the sinner.6 His eyes are ever on the upright, and he gives to the crushed their right;7 Lifting them up to the seat of kings, and making them safe for ever.8 And if they have been prisoned in chains, and taken in cords of trouble,9 Then he makes clear to them what they have done, even their evil works in which they have taken pride.10 Their ear is open to his teaching, and he gives them orders so that their hearts may be turned from evil.11 If they give ear to his voice, and do his word, then he gives them long life, and years full of pleasure.12 But if not, they come to their end, and give up their breath without knowledge.13 Those who have no fear of God keep wrath stored up in their hearts; they give no cry for help when they are made prisoners.14 They come to their end while they are still young, their life is short like that of those who are used for sex purposes in the worship of their gods.15 He makes the wrong done to the poor the way of their salvation, opening their ears by their trouble.16 ...17 ...18 ...19 ...20 ...21 Take care not to be turned to sin, for you have taken evil for your part in place of sorrow.22 Truly God is lifted up in strength; who is a ruler like him?23 Who ever gave orders to him, or said to him, You have done wrong?24 See that you give praise to his work, about which men make songs.25 All people are looking on it; man sees it from far.26 Truly, God is great, greater than all our knowledge; the number of his years may not be searched out.27 For he takes up the drops from the sea; he sends them through his mist as rain,28 Flowing down from the sky, and dropping on the peoples.29 And who has knowledge of how the clouds are stretched out, or of the thunders of his tent?30 See, he is stretching out his mist, covering the tops of the mountains with it.31 For by these he gives food to the peoples, and bread in full measure.32 He takes the light in his hands, sending it against the mark.33 The thunder makes clear his passion, and the storm gives news of his wrath.

1 Addens quoque Eliu, hc locutus est : 2 [Sustine me paululum, et indicabo tibi :adhuc enim habeo quod pro Deo loquar.3 Repetam scientiam meam a principio,et operatorem meum probabo justum.4 Vere enim absque mendacio sermones mei,et perfecta scientia probabitur tibi.5 Deus potentes non abjicit,cum et ipse sit potens :6 sed non salvat impios,et judicium pauperibus tribuit.7 Non auferet a justo oculos suos :et reges in solio collocat in perpetuum,et illi eriguntur.8 Et si fuerint in catenis,et vinciantur funibus paupertatis,9 indicabit eis opera eorum,et scelera eorum, quia violenti fuerunt.10 Revelabit quoque aurem eorum, ut corripiat :et loquetur, ut revertantur ab iniquitate.11 Si audierint et observaverint, complebunt dies suos in bono,et annos suos in gloria :12 si autem non audierint,transibunt per gladium,et consumentur in stultitia.13 Simulatores et callidi provocant iram Dei,neque clamabunt cum vincti fuerint.14 Morietur in tempestate anima eorum,et vita eorum inter effeminatos.15 Eripiet de angustia sua pauperem,et revelabit in tribulatione aurem ejus.16 Igitur salvabit te de ore angusto latissime,et non habente fundamentum subter se :requies autem mens tu erit plena pinguedine.17 Causa tua quasi impii judicata est :causam judiciumque recipies.18 Non te ergo superet ira ut aliquem opprimas :nec multitudo donorum inclinet te.19 Depone magnitudinem tuam absque tribulatione,et omnes robustos fortitudine.20 Ne protrahas noctem,ut ascendant populi pro eis.21 Cave ne declines ad iniquitatem :hanc enim cpisti sequi post miseriam.22 Ecce Deus excelsus in fortitudine sua,et nullus ei similis in legislatoribus.23 Quis poterit scrutari vias ejus ?aut quis potest ei dicere : Operatus es iniquitatem ?24 Memento quod ignores opus ejus,de quo cecinerunt viri.25 Omnes homines vident eum :unusquisque intuetur procul.26 Ecce Deus magnus vincens scientiam nostram :numerus annorum ejus instimabilis.27 Qui aufert stillas pluvi,et effundit imbres ad instar gurgitum,28 qui de nubibus fluuntqu prtexunt cuncta desuper.29 Si voluerit extendere nubes quasi tentorium suum,30 et fulgurare lumine suo desuper,cardines quoque maris operiet.31 Per hc enim judicat populos,et dat escas multis mortalibus.32 In manibus abscondit lucem,et prcepit ei ut rursus adveniat.33 Annuntiat de ea amico suo, quod possessio ejus sit,et ad eam possit ascendere.]
