Elihu also proceeded and said:
2
"Suffer me a little, and I will show thee that I have yet 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 shall not be false; He that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.
5
"Behold, God is mighty and despiseth not any; He is mighty in strength and wisdom.
6
He preserveth not the life of the wicked, but giveth right to the poor.
7
He withdraweth not His eyes from the righteous, but with kings are they on the throne; yea, He doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.
8
And if they be bound in fetters, and be held in cords of affliction,
9
then He showeth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.
