Elihu Proclaims God’s Goodness

1 Elihu also proceeded and said:

2 “Bear with me a little, and I will show you
That there are yet words to speak on God’s behalf.

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

4 For truly my words are not false;
One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.

5 “Behold, God is mighty, but despises no one;
^aHe is mighty in strength¹ of understanding.

6 He does not preserve the life of the wicked,
But gives justice to the ^aoppressed.

7 ^aHe does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous;
But ^bthey are on the throne with kings,
For He has seated them forever,
And they are exalted.

8 And ^aif they are bound in fetters,
Held in the cords of affliction,
