Job 36:1-9 ▼

1 THEN Elihu added, and said,

2 Bear with me a little, and I will show you; for there are yet words to speak 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 deceitful, and my knowledge is blameless with you.

5 Behold, God is mighty, and does not despise him who is pure as milk.

6 He does not preserve the life of the wicked; but gives justice to the poor.

7 He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous; he sets kings on the throne; yea, they are exalted for ever.

8 And if they be bound in chains, then they go down through destruction to poverty.

9 Then he shows them their works, and their transgression because they have exceeded their power.
