361And Elihu addeth and saith: --+2Honour me a little, and I shew thee, That yet for God are words.+3I lift up my knowledge from afar, And to my Maker I ascribe righteousness.+4For, truly, my words are not false, The perfect in knowledge is with thee.+5Lo, God is mighty, and despiseth not, Mighty in power and heart.+6He reviveth not the wicked, And the judgment of the poor appointeth;+7He withdraweth not from the righteous His eyes, And from kings on the throne, And causeth them to sit for ever, and they are high,+8And if prisoners in fetters They are captured with cords of affliction,+9Then He declareth to them their work, And their transgressions, Because they have become mighty,+10And He uncovereth their ear for instruction, And saith that they turn back from iniquity.+11If they do hear and serve, They complete their days in good, And their years in pleasantness.+12And if they do not hearken, By the dart they pass away, And expire without knowledge.+13And the profane in heart set the face, They cry not when He hath bound them.+14Their soul dieth in youth, And their life among the defiled.+15He draweth out the afflicted in his affliction, And uncovereth in oppression their ear.+16And also He moved thee from a strait place, To a broad place--no straitness under it, And the sitting beyond of thy table Hath been full of fatness.+17And the judgment of the wicked thou hast fulfilled, Judgment and justice are upheld--because of fury,+18Lest He move thee with a stroke, And the abundance of an atonement turn thee not aside.+19Doth He value thy riches? He hath gold, and all the forces of power.+20Desire not the night, For the going up of peoples in their stead.+21Take heed--do not turn unto iniquity, For on this thou hast fixed Rather than on affliction.+22Lo, God doth sit on high by His power, Who is like Him--a teacher?+23Who hath appointed unto Him his way? And who said, `Thou hast done iniquity?'+24Remember that thou magnify His work That men have beheld.+25All men have looked on it, Man looketh attentively from afar. 26Lo, God is high, And we know not the number of His years, Yea, there is no searching.+27When He doth diminish droppings of the waters, They refine rain according to its vapour,+28Which clouds do drop, They distil on man abundantly.+29Yea, doth any understand The spreadings out of a cloud? The noises of His tabernacle?+30Lo, He hath spread over it His light, And the roots of the sea He hath covered,+31For by them He doth judge peoples, He giveth food in abundance.+32By two palms He hath covered the light, And layeth a charge over it in meeting,+33He sheweth by it to his friend substance, Anger against perversity.+
