Elihu Speaks of God’s Dealings with Mankind
1 Then Elihu H453 continued H3254 and said H559,
2 “Wait H3803 for me a little H2191, and I will show H2331 you
That there [fn]is still H5750 more H5750 to H4405 be H4405 said H4405 on God’s H433 behalf.
3 “I will bring H5375 my knowledge H1843 from afar H7350,
And ascribe H5414 righteousness H6664 to my Maker H6466.
4 “For truly H551 my words H4405 are not false H8267;
One who is perfect H8549 in knowledge H1844 is with you.
5 “Behold H2005, God H410 is mighty H3524 but does not reject H3988 anyone;
He is mighty H3524 in strength H3581 of understanding H3820.
6 “He does not keep H2421 the wicked H7563 alive H2421,
But gives H5414 justice H4941 to the afflicted H6041.
7 “He does not withdraw H1639 His eyes H5869 from the righteous H6662,
But with kings H4428 on the throne H3678
He has seated H3427 them forever H5331, and they are exalted H1361.
8 “And if H518 they are bound H631 in shackles H2131,
And are caught H3920 in the snares H2256 of misery H6040,
9 Then He declares H5046 to them their work H6467
And their wrongdoings H6588, that they have been arrogant H1396.
10 “He opens H1540 their ears H241 to instruction H4148,
And commands H559 that they return H7725 from injustice H205.
11 “If H518 they listen H8085 and serve H5647 Him,
They will end H3615 their days H3117 in prosperity H2896,
And their years H8141 in happiness H5273.
12 “But if H518 they do not listen H8085, they will [fn]perish H5674 by the sword H2719,
And die H1478 without H1097 knowledge H1847.
13 “But the godless H2611 in heart H3820 nurture H7760 anger H639;
They do not call H7768 for H7768 help H7768 when H3588 He binds H631 them.
14 “[fn]They die H4191 in youth H5290,
And their life H2416 perishes among the cult H6945 prostitutes H6945.
15 “He rescues H2502 the afflicted H6041 in [fn]their misery H6040,
And opens H1540 their ears H241 in time of oppression H3906.
16 “Then indeed H637, He induced H5496 you away H4480 from the mouth H6310 of distress H6862,
And instead H8478 of H8478 it, a broad H7338 place H7338 with no H3808 constraint H4164;
And your table H7979 was full H4390 of [fn]rich H1880 food H1880.
17 “But you were full H4390 of judgment H1779 on the wicked H7563;
Judgment H1779 and justice H4941 take H8551 hold H8551 of you.
18 “Beware that wrath H2534 does not entice H5496 you to mockery H5607;
And do not let the greatness H7230 of the ransom H3724 turn H5186 you aside H5186.
19 “Will your cry H7770 for H7770 help H7770 keep H6186 you from distress H6862,
Or all H3605 the exertions H3981 of your strength H3581?
20 “Do not long H7602 for the night H3915,
When people H5971 [fn]vanish H5927 in H8478 their places H8478.
21 “Be H8104 careful H8104, do not turn H6437 to evil H205,
For you preferred H977 this H2088 to misery H6040.
22 “Behold H2005, God H410 is H7682 exalted H7682 in His power H3581;
Who H4310 is a teacher H4175 like H3644 Him?
23 “Who H4310 has appointed H6485 Him His way H1870,
And who H4310 has said H559, ‘You have done H6466 wrong H5766’?
24 “Remember H2142 that you are to exalt H7679 His work H6467,
Of which H834 people H376 have sung H7891.
25 “All H3605 people H120 have seen H2372 it;
Mankind H120 looks H5027 at it from afar H7350.
26 “Behold H2005, God H410 is exalted H7689, and we do not know H3045 Him;
The number H4557 of His years H8141 is unsearchable H3808 H2714.
27 “For He draws H1639 up H1639 the drops H5198 of water H4325;
They distill H2212 rain H4306 from its [fn]celestial H108 stream H108,
28 Which H834 clouds H7834 pour H5140 down H5140;
They drip H7491 upon mankind H120 abundantly H7227.
29 “Can anyone understand H995 the spreading H4666 of the clouds H5645,
The thundering H8663 of His [fn]pavilion H5521?
30 “Behold H2005, He spreads H6566 His [fn]lightning H216 about H5921 Him,
And He covers H3680 the depths H8328 of the sea H3220.
31 “For by them He judges H1777 peoples H5971;
He gives H5414 food H400 in abundance H3527.
32 “He covers H3680 His hands H3709 with the [fn]lightning H216,
And commands H6680 it to strike H6293 the target H6293.
33 “Its thundering H7452 voice H7452 declares H5046 [fn]His presence H5921;
The livestock H4735 also H637, concerning H5921 what is coming H5927 up H5927.
