- 1. Elihu also proceeded, and saide:
- 2. Holde thee still a litle, & I shall shew thee what I haue yet to speake on gods behalfe.
- 3. I wyll open vnto thee yet farre higher knowledge, and wil ascribe righteousnesse vnto my maker.
- 4. And truely my wordes shall not be vaine, seeing he is with thee that is perfect in knowledge.
- 5. Beholde, the great God casteth away no man, for he him selfe is mightie in power and wysdome.
- 6. As for the vngodly he shall not preserue him, but shall helpe the poore to their right.
- 7. He shal not turne his eyes away from the righteous, but as kinges shal they be in their throne, he shal stablish them for euer, and they shalbe exalted.
- 8. But if they be layde in chaynes, or bounde with the bondes of trouble,
- 9. Then wyll he shew them their worke, & their sinnes which haue ouercome them.
- 10. He with punishing and nurturing of them, roundeth them in the eares, warneth them to leaue of from their wickednesse, and to amende.
- 11. If they now wyll take heede & serue him, they shal weare out their dayes in prosperitie, and their yeres in pleasure.
- 12. But if they wil not hearken, they shal go through the sworde, and perishe or euer they be aware.
- 13. As for hypocrites in heart, they shall heape vp wrath [for them selues] for they call not vpon him, though they be his prisoners.
- 14. Thus shal their soule perishe in foolishnes, and their lyfe among the fornicatours.
- 15. The poore shall he deliuer out of his affliction, and rounde them in the eare when they be in trouble.
- 16. Euen so would he take thee out of the straite place, into a brode place in the which there is no straitnes: yea, & make thy table quiet replenished with fatnesse.
- 17. Neuerthelesse, thou hast commended the iudgement of the vngodly, and euen such a iudgement & sentence shalt thou suffer.
- 18. And seeing there is wrath with God, beware lest he take thee away in thy wealth, & all that thou hast to redeeme thee can not deliuer thee.
- 19. Thinkest thou that he wyll regarde thy riches? he shall not care for golde, nor for all them that excell in strength.
- 20. Spend not the night in carefull thoughtes, how he destroyeth some, and bringeth other in their place.
- 21. But beware that thou turne not aside to wickednesse and sinne, which hitherto thou hast chosen more then affliction.
- 22. Beholde, God is of a mightie hie power: Where is there such a guide and lawe geuer as he?
- 23. Who wyll reproue him of his way? Who wil say vnto him, Thou hast done wrong?
- 24. Remember that thou do magnifie his worke which men do praise,
- 25. All men see it, yea men do beholde it a farre of.
- 26. Beholde, so great is God that he passeth our knowledge, neither can the number of his yeres be searched out.
- 27. Sometime he restrayneth the rayne, and againe he sendeth rayne by his cloudes:
- 28. Which rayne the cloudes do droppe, and let fall aboundantly vpon men.
- 29. Who can consider the spreadinges out of his cloudes, the coueringes of his tabernacle?
- 30. Behold, he doth stretch his light vpon it, and couereth the bottome of the sea.
- 31. For by these gouerneth he his people, and geueth them aboundance of meate.
- 32. With the cloudes he hydeth the light, and at his commaundement it breaketh out:
- 33. Which dashing vpon the next cloudes, shew tokens of wrath.
