Job 36:1-9 ▼

1 Elihu responded again and said:

2 |Be patient with me a moment longer, and I'll show you that there's more to say on God's behalf.

3 I'll take what I know to its logical conclusion and ascribe righteousness to my Creator,

4 because what I have to say isn't deceptive, and the one who has perfect knowledge is with you.|

5 |Indeed God is mighty and he doesn't show disrespect; he is mighty and strong of heart.

6 He doesn't let the wicked live; he grants justice to the afflicted.

7 He won't stop looking at righteous people; he seats them on thrones with kings forever, and they are exalted.

8 |If they're bound in chains, caught in ropes of affliction,

9 he'll reveal their actions to them, when their transgressions have become excessive.
