1And Elius further continued, and said,
1Elihu also continued, and said,
2Wait for me yet a little while, that I may teach you: for there is yet speech in me.
2“Bear with me a little, and I will show you; for I still have something to say on God’s behalf.
3Having fetched my knowledge from afar, and according to my works,
3I will get my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
4I will speak just things truly, and you shall not unjustly receive unjust words .
4For truly my words are not false. One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.
5But know that the Lord will not cast off an innocent man: being mightyin strength of wisdom,
5“Behold, God is mighty, and doesn’t despise anyone. He is mighty in strength of understanding.
6he will not by any means save alive the ungodly: and he will grant the judgment of the poor.
6He doesn’t preserve the life of the wicked, but gives justice to the afflicted.
7He will not turn away his eyes from the righteous, but [they shall be] with kings on the throne: and he will establish them in triumph, and they shall be exalted.
7He doesn’t withdraw his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne, he sets them forever, and they are exalted.
8But they that are bound in fetters shall be holden in cords of poverty.
8If they are bound in fetters, and are taken in the cords of afflictions,
9And he shall recount to them their works, and their transgressions, for such will act with violence.
9then he shows them their work, and their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.
10But he will listen to the righteous: and he has said that they shall turn from unrighteousness.

11If they should hear and serve [him], they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in honor.
11If they listen and serve him, they will spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
12But he preserves not the ungodly; because they are not willing to know the Lord, and because when reproved they were disobedient.
12But if they don’t listen, they will perish by the sword; they will die without knowledge.
13And the hypocrites in heart will array wrath [against themselves]; they will not cry, because he has bound them.
13“But those who are godless in heart lay up anger. They don’t cry for help when he binds them.
14Therefore let their soul die in youth, and their life be wounded by messengers [of death].
14They die in youth. Their life perishes among the unclean.
15Because they afflicted the weak and helpless: and he will vindicate the judgment of the meek.
15He delivers the afflicted by their affliction, and opens their ear in oppression.
