Job 36:1-9 ▼

1 Continuing in a similar manner, Eliu had this to say:

2 Bear with me for a little while and I will show you; for I have still more to say in favor of God.

3 I will review my knowledge from the beginning, and I will prove my Maker to be just.

4 For truly my words are without any falsehood and perfect knowledge will be proven to you.

5 God does not abandon the powerful, for he himself is also powerful.

6 But he does not save the impious, though he grants judgment to the poor.

7 He will not take his eyes away from the just, and he continually establishes kings on their throne, and they are exalted.

8 And, if they are in captivity, or are bound with the chains of poverty,

9 he will reveal to them their works, as well as their sinfulness, in that they were violent.
