V.1 Elihu 453 also proceeded, 3254-55 and said, 559-4

36:2 Suffer 3803-16 me a little, 2191 and I will shew 2331-17 thee that [I have] yet to speak 4405 on God's 433 behalf.

36:3 I will fetch 5375-4 my knowledge 1843 from afar, 7350 and will ascribe 5414-4 righteousness 6664 to my Maker. 6466- 6

36:4 For truly 551 my words 4405 [shall] not [be] false: 8267 he that is perfect 8549 in knowledge 1844 [is] with thee.

36:5 Behold, God 410 [is] mighty, 3524 and despiseth 3988-4 not [any: he is] mighty 3524 in strength 3581 [and] wisdom. 3820

36:6 He preserveth not the life 2421-17 of the wicked: 7563 but giveth 5414-4 right 4941 to the poor. 6041

36:7 He withdraweth 1639-4 not his eyes 5869 from the righteous: 6662 but with kings 4428 [are they] on the throne; 3678 yea, he doth establish 3427-55 them for ever, 5331 and they are exalted. 1361-4

36:8 And if [they be] bound 631-7 in fetters, 2131 [and] be holden 3920-11 in cords 2256 of affliction; 6040

36:9 Then he sheweth 5046-55 them their work, 6467 and their transgressions 6588 that they have exceeded. 1396-101

36:10 He openeth 1540-4 also their ear 241 to discipline, 4148 and commandeth 559-4 that they return 7725-4 from iniquity. 205

36:11 If they obey 8085-4 and serve 5647-4 [him], they shall spend 3615-17 their days 3117 in prosperity, 2896 and their years 8141 in pleasures. 5273

36:12 But if they obey 8085-4 not, they shall perish 5674-4 by the sword, 7973 and they shall die 1478-4 without knowledge. 1847

36:13 But the hypocrites 2611 in heart 3820 heap up 7760-4 wrath: 639 they cry 7768-17 not when he bindeth 631-1 them.

36:14 They 5315 die 4191-4 in youth, 5290 and their life 2416 [is] among the unclean. 6945

36:15 He delivereth 2502-17 the poor 6041 in his affliction, 6040 and openeth 1540-4 their ears 241 in oppression. 3906

36:16 Even so would he have removed 5496-52 thee out 6310 of the strait 6862 [into] a broad place, 7338 where 8478 [there is] no straitness; 4164 and that which should be set on 5183 thy table 7979 [should be] full 4390-1 of fatness. 1880

36:17 But thou hast fulfilled 4390-1 the judgment 1779 of the wicked: 7563 judgment 1779 and justice 4941 take hold 8551-4 [on thee].

36:18 Because [there is] wrath, 2534 [beware] lest he take thee away 5496-55 with [his] stroke: 5607 then a great 7230 ransom 3724 cannot deliver 5186-55 thee.

36:19 Will he esteem 6186-4 thy riches? 7769 [no], not gold, 1222 nor all the forces 3981 of strength. 3581

36:20 Desire 7602-4 not the night, 3915 when people 5971 are cut off 5927-2 in their place.

36:21 Take heed, 8104-10 regard 6437-4 not iniquity: 205 for this hast thou chosen 977-1 rather than affliction. 6040

36:22 Behold, God 410 exalteth 7682-55 by his power: 3581 who teacheth 3384-56 like him?

36:23 Who hath enjoined 6485-1 him his way? 1870 or who can say, 559-1 Thou hast wrought 6466-1 iniquity? 5766

36:24 Remember 2142-3 that thou magnify 7679-55 his work, 6467 which men 582 behold. 7891-31

36:25 Every man 120 may see 2372-1 it; man 582 may behold 5027-55 [it] afar off. 7350

36:26 Behold, God 410 [is] great, 7689 and we know 3045-4 [him] not, neither can the number 4557 of his years 8141 be searched out. 2714

36:27 For he maketh small 1639-17 the drops 5198 of water: 4325 they pour down 2212-4 rain 4306 according to the vapour 108 thereof:

36:28 Which the clouds 7834 do drop 5140-4 [and] distil 7491- 4 upon man 120 abundantly. 7227

36:29 Also can [any] understand 995-4 the spreadings 4666 of the clouds, 5645 [or] the noise 8663 of his tabernacle? 5521

36:30 Behold, he spreadeth 6566-1 his light 216 upon it, and covereth 3680-14 the bottom 8328 of the sea. 3220

36:31 For by them judgeth 1777-4 he the people; 5971 he giveth 5414-4 meat 400 in abundance. 4342-56

36:32 With clouds 3709 he covereth 3680-14 the light; 216 and commandeth 6680-17 it [not to shine] by [the cloud] that cometh betwixt. 6293-56
