1. And Elihu addeth and saith: --
2. Honour me a little, and I shew thee, That yet for God [are] words.
3. I lift up my knowledge from afar, And to my Maker I ascribe righteousness.
4. For, truly, my words [are] not false, The perfect in knowledge [is] with thee.
5. Lo, God [is] mighty, and despiseth not, Mighty [in] power [and] heart.
6. He reviveth not the wicked, And the judgment of the poor appointeth;
7. He withdraweth not from the righteous His eyes, And [from] kings on the throne, And causeth them to sit for ever, and they are high,
8. And if prisoners in fetters They are captured with cords of affliction,
9. Then He declareth to them their work, And their transgressions, Because they have become mighty,
10. And He uncovereth their ear for instruction, And saith that they turn back from iniquity.
11. If they do hear and serve, They complete their days in good, And their years in pleasantness.
12. And if they do not hearken, By the dart they pass away, And expire without knowledge.
