Job 36:1-9 ▼

1 Eliu also proceeded, and said :

2 Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee : for I have yet somewhat to speak in God's behalf.

3 I will repeat my knowledge from the beginning, and I will prove my Maker just.

4 For indeed my words are without a lie, and perfect knowledge shall be proved to thee.

5 God doth not cast away the mighty, whereas he himself also is mighty.

6 But he saveth not the wicked, and he giveth judgment to the poor.

7 He will not take away his eyes from the just, and he placeth kings on the throne for ever, and they are exalted.

8 And if they shall be in chains, and be bound with the cords of poverty :

9 He shall shew them their works, and their wicked deeds, because they have been violent.
