2. Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee: for I have yet somewhat to speak in God's behalf.
3. I will repeat my knowledge from the beginning, and I will prove my Maker just.
4. For indeed my words are without a lie, and perfect knowledge shall be proved to thee.
5. God doth not cast away the mighty, whereas he himself also is mighty.
6. But he saveth not the wicked, and he giveth judgment to the poor.
7. He will not take away his eyes from the just, and he placeth kings on the throne for ever, and they are exalted.
