16 “Indeed He would have brought you out of dire distress, aInto a broad place where thereis no restraint; And bwhat is set on your table wouldbe full of crichness.
17 But you are filled with the judgment due the awicked; Judgment and justice take hold ofyou.
18 Because thereis wrath, beware lest He take you away with one blow; For aa large ransom would not help you avoid it.
19aWill your riches, Or all the mighty forces, Keep you from distress?
20 Do not desire the night, When people are cut off in their place.
21 Take heed, ado not turn to iniquity, For byou have chosen this rather than affliction.
22 “Behold, God is exalted by His power; Who teaches like Him?
23aWho has assigned Him His way, Or who has said, ‘You have done bwrong’?
Elihu Proclaims God’s Majesty
24 “Remember to amagnify His work, Of which men have sung.
25 Everyone has seen it; Man looks on it from afar.
26 “Behold, God is great, and we ado not know Him; bNor can the number of His years be discovered.
27 For He adraws up drops of water, Which distill as rain from the mist,
28aWhich the clouds drop down And pour abundantly on man.
