Job 36:1-10 ▼

1 Then Elihu continued and said,

2 “Wait for me a little, and I will show you That there is yet more to be said in God’s behalf.

3 I will take up my knowledge from afar, And I will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

4 For truly my words are not a lie; One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.

5 Behold, God is mighty but does not reject; He is mighty in the power of His heart.

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

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

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

9 Then He declares to them their work And their transgressions, that they have magnified themselves.

10 He opens their ear to discipline, And says that they return from wickedness.
