Job 36:1-9 ▼

1 Elihu also proceeded, and said:

2 Suffer me a little, and I will tell thee; For there are yet words on God's behalf.

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

4 For truly my words are not false; One that is upright in mind is with thee.

5 Behold, God is mighty, yet He despiseth not any; He is mighty in strength of understanding.

6 He preserveth not the life of the wicked; But giveth to the poor their right.

7 He withdraweth not His eyes from the righteous; But with kings upon the throne He setteth them for ever, and they are exalted.

8 And if they be bound in fetters, And be holden in cords of affliction;

9 Then He declareth unto them their work, And their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.
