King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Elihu also
proceeded,
and said,
And
Elihu addeth
and saith:
--
Suffer
me a little, and I will
shew thee that I
have
yet to
speak
on
God's
behalf
.
Honour
me a little, and I shew thee ,
That yet for
God
`are'
words
.
I will
fetch
my knowledge from afar, and will
ascribe
righteousness
to my Maker.
I lift
up
my knowledge from afar, And to my Maker I
ascribe
righteousness
.
For truly my words shall
not be
false :
he
that
is
perfect in knowledge is with thee.
For ,
truly ,
my words `are'
not false ,
The
perfect in knowledge `
is '
with thee.
Behold
, God is mighty, and despiseth not any:
he
is
mighty in strength
and wisdom
.
Lo
, God `
is '
mighty, and despiseth not ,
Mighty `
in '
power
`
and '
heart
.
He preserveth
not the life
of
the
wicked :
but
giveth
right
to
the poor .
He reviveth
not the wicked ,
And
the judgment
of
the
poor appointeth;
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.
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,
And if they
be
bound
in fetters ,
and
be
holden
in
cords of affliction ;
And if prisoners
in fetters They
are
captured
with
cords of affliction ,
Then he sheweth
them their work, and their transgressions that
they have exceeded.
Then He declareth
to
them their work, And their transgressions ,
Because
they have become
mighty,
He openeth
also
their ear to
discipline
, and commandeth
that they return
from iniquity.
And
He uncovereth
their ear for
instruction
, And saith
that they turn
back
from iniquity.
If they obey
and serve him
, they shall
spend
their days in prosperity
, and their years in pleasures
.
If they do
hear
and serve, They complete
their days in good
, And their years in pleasantness
.
But
if they obey
not, they
shall
perish
by the sword
, and they
shall
die
without knowledge.
And
if they do
not hearken
, By the dart
they
pass
away
, And expire
without knowledge.
But
the hypocrites
in heart heap
up
wrath:
they cry not when he bindeth
them.
And
the profane
in heart set
the
face,
They cry not when He hath
bound
them.
They
die
in youth, and their life is
among the unclean
.
Their
soul
dieth
in youth, And their life among the defiled
.
He delivereth
the poor
in his affliction, and openeth
their
ears
in oppression.
He draweth
out
the afflicted
in his affliction, And uncovereth
in oppression their
ear
.
Even
so
would
he have
removed
thee out
of
the
strait into
a broad place ,
where
there
is
no straitness ;
and that
which
should
be
set
on
thy table should
be
full of fatness.
And
also
He moved
thee from
a
strait place,
`To'
a broad place --
no straitness under
it,
And the
sitting
beyond
of
thy table Hath
been
full of fatness.
But
thou
hast
fulfilled
the judgment of the wicked :
judgment and justice take
hold
on
thee.
And
the judgment of the wicked thou
hast
fulfilled,
Judgment and justice are
upheld
--
because
of
fury,
Because
there
is
wrath,
beware
lest he take
thee away
with his
stroke:
then
a great
ransom
cannot
deliver
thee.
Lest He move
thee with a stroke,
And
the
abundance
of
an
atonement
turn
thee not
aside
.
Will
he esteem
thy riches? no,
not
gold, nor
all the forces of strength
.
Doth
He value
thy riches? He
hath
gold, and
all the forces of power
.
Desire not the night, when
people
are
cut
off
in their place
.
Desire not the night, For
the
going
up
of
peoples
in their stead
.
Take heed ,
regard
not iniquity :
for this hast
thou chosen
rather than affliction.
Take heed --
do
not turn
unto
iniquity ,
For on
this thou hast
fixed
Rather than `on'
affliction.
Behold
, God exalteth
by his power :
who teacheth
like him?
Lo
, God doth
sit
on
high
by His power ,
Who `is'
like Him --
a
teacher
?
Who hath enjoined
him his way? or
who can
say
, Thou hast wrought
iniquity?
Who hath appointed
unto
Him his way? And
who said
, `
Thou hast done
iniquity? '
Remember that thou magnify his work ,
which
men behold
.
Remember that thou magnify His work That
men have
beheld
.
Every
man
may
see
it ;
man may
behold
it
afar off
.
All
men
have
looked
on
it ,
Man looketh
attentively
from
afar.
Behold
, God is great
, and we know him
not ,
neither
can
the number of his years be
searched
out
.
Lo
, God `
is '
high
, And we know not the number of His years ,
Yea,
there
`is'
no
searching
.
For
he maketh
small
the
drops
of water:
they pour
down
rain according to the
vapour thereof:
When
He doth
diminish
droppings
of the
waters,
They refine
rain according to its
vapour ,
Which the
clouds do drop and
distil upon
man abundantly.
Which clouds do drop ,
They
distil on
man abundantly.
Also
can
any understand the spreadings of the
clouds,
or
the noise
of his tabernacle?
Yea,
doth
`
any '
understand The spreadings out
of a
cloud?
The noises
of His tabernacle?
Behold
, he spreadeth
his light upon
it
, and covereth
the bottom
of the sea .
Lo
, He hath
spread
over
it
His light, And the roots
of the sea He
hath
covered,
For by them judgeth
he the
people;
he giveth meat
in abundance.
For by them He doth
judge
peoples,
He giveth food
in abundance.
With
clouds
he covereth
the light ;
and commandeth
it not
to
shine
by
the
cloud
that
cometh
betwixt.
By
two
palms
He hath
covered
the light ,
And layeth
a
charge
over
it in
meeting,
The
noise
thereof
sheweth concerning
it, the
cattle
also
concerning
the
vapour
.
He
sheweth by
it `to'
his
friend
substance
, Anger
against
perversity
.
