Job 36:1-9 ▼

1 Elihu said further:

2 Be patient with me a little longer and I will instruct you, for I still have words to speak on God's behalf.

3 With my knowledge I will speak comprehensively, and to my Creator I will ascribe righteousness.

4 For in truth, my words are not false; it is one complete in knowledge who is with you.

5 Indeed, God is mighty; and he does not despise people, he is mighty, and firm in his intent.

6 He does not allow the wicked to live, but he gives justice to the poor.

7 He does not take his eyes off the righteous; but with kings on the throne he seats the righteous and exalts them forever.

8 But if they are bound in chains, and held captive by the cords of affliction,

9 then he reveals to them what they have done, and their transgressions, that they were behaving proudly.
