Job 36:1-9 ▼

1 Then Elihu continued, saying:

2 Be patient with me a little longer, and I will inform you, for there is still more to be said on God’s behalf.

3 I will get my knowledge from a distant place and ascribe justice to my Maker.

4 For my arguments are without flaw; one who has perfect knowledge is with you.

5 Yes, God is mighty, but He despises no one; He understands all things.

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

7 He does not remove His gaze from the righteous, but He seats them forever with enthroned kings, and they are exalted.

8 If people are bound with chains and trapped by the cords of affliction,

9 God tells them what they have done and how arrogantly they have transgressed.
