Job 36:1-10 ▼

1 And Elihu added and said:

2 “Surround unto me a little, and I will show you, that there are words yet to God.

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

4 For truly, my words are not false; the one complete in knowledge is with you.

5 Behold, God is mighty, and He does not despise; He is mighty in strength of heart.

6 He does not keep the wicked alive, and He gives justice to the afflicted.

7 He does not take away His eyes from the righteous, but they are with kings on the throne; and He has seated them forever, and they are exalted.

8 And if they are bound in the fetters, caught in the cords of affliction,

9 then he declares to them their work and their transgressions, because they magnified themselves.

10 And He opens their ear to correction, and He says that they should turn back from iniquity.
