The King James Version Bible

Job 36:1-10

  1. Elihu also proceeded, and said,

  2. Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God's behalf.

  3. I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

  4. For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.

  5. Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.

  6. He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor.

  7. He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.

  8. And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;

  9. Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.

  10. He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.
