Job 36:1-9 ▼

1 And Elihu addeth and saith: --

2 Honour me a little, and I shew thee, That yet for God are words.

3 I lift up my knowledge from afar, And to my Maker I ascribe righteousness.

4 For, truly, my words are not false, The perfect in knowledge is with thee.

5 Lo, God is mighty, and despiseth not, Mighty in power and heart.

6 He reviveth not the wicked, And the judgment of the poor appointeth;

7 He withdraweth not from the righteous His eyes, And from kings on the throne, And causeth them to sit for ever, and they are high,

8 And if prisoners in fetters They are captured with cords of affliction,

9 Then He declareth to them their work, And their transgressions, Because they have become mighty,
