CHAP. XXXVI. 1 Elihu sheweth the power of God, 6 And his iustice, 9 And wherefore he punisheth. 13 The propertie of the wicked.


1   Elihu also proceeded and sayde,


2   Suffer me a litle, and I will instruct thee: for I haue yet to speake on Gods behalfe.


3   I will fetche note my knowledge afarre off, & will attribute rigteousnesse vnto my Maker.


4   For truely my wordes shall not be false, and he that is note perfect in knowledge, speaketh &wt; thee.


5   Behold, the mighty God casteth away none that is note mighty and valiant of courage.


6    noteHe mainteineth not the wicked, but he giueth iudgement to the afflicted.


7   He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous, but they are with note Kings in þe; throne, where he placeth them for euer: thus they are exalted.


8   And if they bee bound in fetters and tyed with the cordes of affliction,


9   Then will he shewe them their note worke and their sinnes, because they haue bene proude.


10   He openeth also their eare to discipline, and commandeth them that they returne fr&obar; iniquity.


11    noteIf they obey and serue him, they shal end their dayes in prosperity, & their yeres in pleasures.


12   But if they wil not obey, they shal passe by the sworde, and perish note without knowledge.


13   But the hypocrites note of heart increase the wrath: for they note call not when he bindeth them.


14   Their soule dyeth in note youth, and their life among the whoremongers.


15   He deliuereth the poore in his affliction, & openeth their eare in trouble.


16   Euen so woulde he haue taken thee out of the streight place into a broade place and not shut vp beneath: and note that which resteth vpon thy table, The power of God. had bene full of fat.


17   But thou art ful of the note iudgement of the wicked, though iudgement and equitie maintaine all things.


18    noteFor Gods wrath is, least hee should take that away in thine abundance: for no multitude of giftes can deliuer thee.


19   Wil he regard thy riches? he regardeth not golde, nor all them that excel in strength.


20    noteBe not carefull in the night, howe he destroyeth the people out of their place.


21   Take thou heede: looke not to note iniquitie: for thou hast chosen it rather then affliction.


22   Beholde, God exalteth by his power: what teacher is like him?


23   Who hath appointed to him his way? or who can say, Thou hast done wickedly?


24   Remember that thou magnifie his worke, which men behold.


25   All men see it, and men beholde it note afarre off.


26   Beholde, God is excellent, note and we knowe him not, neither can the nomber of his yeres bee searched out.


27   When he restraineth the droppes of water, the rayne note powreth down by the vapour thereof,


28   Which raine the cloudes do droppe and let fall abundantly vpon man.


29   Who can know the diuisions of þe; clouds and the thunders of his note tabernacle?


30   Beholde, he spreadeth his light vpon note it, and couereth the note bottome of the sea.


31   For thereby hee iudgeth note the people, and giueth meate abundantly.


32   He couereth the light with the clouds, and commandeth them to go note against it.


33    noteHis companion sheweth him thereof, and there is anger in rising vp.
