Job 36:0 - Job 36:10

Job 36
Intro: Elihu showeth how God's works are to be magnified.

1 Elihu also proceeded, and said,

2 Suffer me a little, and I will show 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 forever, and they are exalted.

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

9 Then he showeth 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.
