1. Continuing in a similar manner, Eliu had this to say:
2. Bear with me for a little while and I will show you; for I have still more to say in favor of God.
3. I will review my knowledge from the beginning, and I will prove my Maker to be just.
4. For truly my words are without any falsehood and perfect knowledge will be proven to you.
5. God does not abandon the powerful, for he himself is also powerful.
6. But he does not save the impious, though he grants judgment to the poor.
7. He will not take his eyes away from the just, and he continually establishes kings on their throne, and they are exalted.
8. And, if they are in captivity, or are bound with the chains of poverty,
9. he will reveal to them their works, as well as their sinfulness, in that they were violent.
10. Likewise, he will open their ears to his correction, and he will speak to them, so that they may return from iniquity.
11. If they listen and obey, they will fill their days with goodness and complete their years in glory.
