1. Elihu said further:
2. “Be patient with me a little longerand I will instruct you,for I still have words to speak on God’s behalf.
3. With my knowledge I will speak comprehensively,and to my Creator I will ascribe righteousness.
4. For in truth, my words are not false;it is one complete in knowledge who is with you.
5. Indeed, God is mighty; and he does not despise people,he is mighty, and firm in his intent.
6. He does not allow the wicked to live,but he gives justice to the poor.
7. He does not take his eyes off the righteous;but with kings on the throne he seats the righteous and exalts them forever.
8. But if they are bound in chains,and held captive by the cords of affliction,
9. then he reveals to them what they have done,and their transgressions, that they were behaving proudly.
10. And he reveals this for correction,and says that they must turn from evil.
11. If they obey and serve him,they live out their days in prosperityand their years in pleasantness.
