1. Elihu continued:
2. ‘Bear with me a little longer and I will show youthat there is more to be said on God’s behalf.
3. I get my knowledge from afar;I will ascribe justice to my Maker.
4. Be assured that my words are not false;one who has perfect knowledge is with you.
5. ‘God is mighty, but despises no one;he is mighty, and firm in his purpose.
6. He does not keep the wicked alivebut gives the afflicted their rights.
7. He does not take his eyes off the righteous;he enthrones them with kingsand exalts them for ever.
