2Suffer me a little, and I will show thee that [I have] yet to speak on God's behalf.
3I will bring my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
4For truly my words [shall] not [be] false: he that is perfect in knowledge [is] with thee.
5Behold, God [is] mighty, and despiseth not [any]: [he is] mighty in strength [and] wisdom.
6He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor.
7He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings [are they] on the throne; yes, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.
8And if [they are] bound in fetters, [and] are held in cords of affliction;
9Then he showeth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.
10He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.
11If they obey and serve [him], they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
12But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
13But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them.
14They die in youth, and their life [is] among the unclean.
15He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.
16Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait [into] a broad place, where [there is] no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table [would be] full of fatness.
17But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold [on thee].
18Because [there is] wrath, [beware] lest he take thee away with [his] stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.
19Will he esteem thy riches? [no], not gold, nor all the forces of strength.
20Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.
21Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
22Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
23Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?
24Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.
25Every man may see it; man may behold [it] afar off.
26Behold, God [is] great, and we know [him] not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
27For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapor of it.
28Which the clouds do drop [and] distill upon man abundantly.
29Also can [any] understand the spreadings of the clouds, [or] the noise of his tabernacle?
30Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.
31For by them he judgeth the people; he giveth food in abundance.
32With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it [not to shine] by [the] intervening [cloud].
33The noise of it showeth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapor.
