1 Elihu [He is my God] also proceeded, and said,

2 Suffer me a little, and I will show youi that [I have] yet to speak on God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]’s behalf.

3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

4 For truly my words [shall] not [be] false: he that is perfect in knowledge [is] with youi.

5 Behold, God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [is] mighty, and despises not [any: he is] mighty in strength [and] wisdom.

6 He preserves not the life of the wicked: but gives right to the poor.

7 He withdraws not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings [are they] on the throne; yes, he does establish them forever, and they are exalted.

8 And if [they be] bound in fetters, [and] be held in cords of affliction;

9 Then he shows them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.

10 He opens also their ear to discipline, and commands that they return from iniquity.

11 If they obey and serve [him], they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.

12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.

13 But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he binds them.

14 They die in youth, and their life [is] among the unclean.

15 He delivers the poor in his affliction, and opens their ears in oppression.

16 Even so would he have removed youi out of the strait [into] a broad place, where [there is] no straitness; and that which should be set on youi table [should be] full of fatness.

17 But youi have fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold [on youi].

18 Because [there is] wrath, [beware] lest he take youi away with [his] stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver youi.

19 Will he esteem youi riches? [no], not gold, nor all the forces of strength.

20 Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.

21 Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this have youi chosen rather than affliction.

22 Behold, God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] exalts by his power: who teaches like him?

23 Who has enjoined him his way? or who can say, youi have wrought iniquity?

24 Remember that youi magnify his work, which men behold.

25 Every man may see it; man may behold [it] afar off.

26 Behold, God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [is] great, and we know [him] not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.

27 For he makes small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:

28 Which the clouds do drop [and] distil upon man abundantly.

29 Also can [any] understand the spreadings of the clouds, [or] the noise of his tabernacle?

30 Behold, he spreads his light upon it, and covers the bottom of the sea.

31 For by them he the people; he gives meat in abundance.

32 With clouds he covers the light; and commands it [not to shine] by [the cloud] that comes between.

33 The noise thereof shows concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.
