KJV ¹ Elihu also proceeded, and said,

WLC ¹ וַיֹּ֥סֶף אֱלִיה֗וּא וַיֹּאמַֽר׃

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

WLC ² כַּתַּר־ לִ֣י זְ֭עֵיר וַאֲחַוֶּ֑ךָּ כִּ֤י ע֖וֹד לֶאֱל֣וֹהַּ מִלִּֽים׃

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

WLC ³ אֶשָּׂ֣א דֵ֭עִי לְמֵרָח֑וֹק וּ֝לְפֹעֲלִ֗י אֶֽתֵּֽן־ צֶֽדֶק׃

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

WLC ⁴ כִּֽי־ אָ֭מְנָם לֹא־ שֶׁ֣קֶר מִלָּ֑י תְּמִ֖ים דֵּע֣וֹת עִמָּֽךְ׃

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

WLC ⁵ הֶן־ אֵ֣ל כַּ֭בִּיר וְלֹ֣א יִמְאָ֑ס כַּ֝בִּ֗יר כֹּ֣חַֽ לֵֽב׃

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

WLC ⁶ לֹא־ יְחַיֶּ֥ה רָשָׁ֑ע וּמִשְׁפַּ֖ט עֲנִיִּ֣ים יִתֵּֽן׃

KJV 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.

WLC ⁷ לֹֽא־ יִגְרַ֥ע מִצַּדִּ֗יק עֵ֫ינָ֥יו וְאֶת־ מְלָכִ֥ים לַכִּסֵּ֑א וַיֹּשִׁיבֵ֥ם לָ֝נֶ֗צַח וַיִּגְבָּֽהוּ׃

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

WLC ⁸ וְאִם־ אֲסוּרִ֥ים בַּזִּקִּ֑ים יִ֝לָּכְד֗וּן בְּחַבְלֵי־ עֹֽנִי׃

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

WLC ⁹ וַיַּגֵּ֣ד לָהֶ֣ם פָּעֳלָ֑ם וּ֝פִשְׁעֵיהֶ֗ם כִּ֣י יִתְגַּבָּֽרוּ׃

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

WLC ¹⁰ וַיִּ֣גֶל אָ֭זְנָם לַמּוּסָ֑ר וַ֝יֹּ֗אמֶר כִּֽי־ יְשֻׁב֥וּן מֵאָֽוֶן׃

KJV ¹¹ If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.

WLC ¹¹ אִֽם־ יִשְׁמְע֗וּ וְֽיַ֫עֲבֹ֥דוּ יְכַלּ֣וּ יְמֵיהֶ֣ם בַּטּ֑וֹב וּ֝שְׁנֵיהֶ֗ם בַּנְּעִימִֽים׃

KJV ¹² But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.

WLC ¹² וְאִם־ לֹ֣א יִ֭שְׁמְעוּ בְּשֶׁ֣לַח יַעֲבֹ֑רוּ וְ֝יִגְוְע֗וּ כִּבְלִי־ דָֽעַת׃

KJV ¹³ But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them.

WLC ¹³ וְֽחַנְפֵי־ לֵ֭ב יָשִׂ֣ימוּ אָ֑ף לֹ֥א יְ֝שַׁוְּע֗וּ כִּ֣י אֲסָרָֽם׃

KJV ¹⁴ They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.

WLC ¹⁴ תָּמֹ֣ת בַּנֹּ֣עַר נַפְשָׁ֑ם וְ֝חַיָּתָ֗ם בַּקְּדֵשִֽׁים׃

KJV ¹⁵ He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.

WLC ¹⁵ יְחַלֵּ֣ץ עָנִ֣י בְעָנְי֑וֹ וְיִ֖גֶל בַּלַּ֣חַץ אָזְנָֽם׃

KJV ¹⁶ Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness.

WLC ¹⁶ וְאַ֤ף הֲסִיתְךָ֨ ׀ מִפִּי־ צָ֗ר רַ֭חַב לֹא־ מוּצָ֣ק תַּחְתֶּ֑יהָ וְנַ֥חַת שֻׁ֝לְחָנְךָ֗ מָ֣לֵא דָֽשֶׁן׃

KJV ¹⁷ But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee.

WLC ¹⁷ וְדִין־ רָשָׁ֥ע מָלֵ֑אתָ דִּ֖ין וּמִשְׁפָּ֣ט יִתְמֹֽכוּ׃

KJV ¹⁸ Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.

WLC ¹⁸ כִּֽי־ חֵ֭מָה פֶּן־ יְסִֽיתְךָ֣ בְסָ֑פֶק וְרָב־ כֹּ֝֗פֶר אַל־ יַטֶּֽךָּ׃

KJV ¹⁹ Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.

WLC ¹⁹ הֲיַעֲרֹ֣ךְ שׁ֭וּעֲךָ לֹ֣א בְצָ֑ר וְ֝כֹ֗ל מַאֲמַצֵּי־ כֹֽחַ׃

KJV ²⁰ Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.

WLC ²⁰ אַל־ תִּשְׁאַ֥ף הַלָּ֑יְלָה לַעֲל֖וֹת עַמִּ֣ים תַּחְתָּֽם׃

KJV ²¹ Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.

WLC ²¹ הִ֭שָּׁמֶר אַל־ תֵּ֣פֶן אֶל־ אָ֑וֶן כִּֽי־ עַל־ זֶ֝֗ה בָּחַ֥רְתָּ מֵעֹֽנִי׃

KJV ²² Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?

WLC ²² הֶן־ אֵ֭ל יַשְׂגִּ֣יב בְּכֹח֑וֹ מִ֖י כָמֹ֣הוּ מוֹרֶֽה׃

KJV ²³ Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?

WLC ²³ מִֽי־ פָקַ֣ד עָלָ֣יו דַּרְכּ֑וֹ וּמִֽי־ אָ֝מַ֗ר פָּעַ֥לְתָּ עַוְלָֽה׃

KJV ²⁴ Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.

WLC ²⁴ זְ֭כֹר כִּֽי־ תַשְׂגִּ֣יא פָעֳל֑וֹ אֲשֶׁ֖ר שֹׁרְר֣וּ אֲנָשִֽׁים׃

KJV ²⁵ Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.

WLC ²⁵ כָּל־ אָדָ֥ם חָֽזוּ־ ב֑וֹ אֱ֝נ֗וֹשׁ יַבִּ֥יט מֵרָחֽוֹק׃

KJV ²⁶ Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.

WLC ²⁶ הֶן־ אֵ֣ל שַׂ֭גִּיא וְלֹ֣א נֵדָ֑ע מִסְפַּ֖ר שָׁנָ֣יו וְלֹא־ חֵֽקֶר׃

KJV ²⁷ For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:

WLC ²⁷ כִּ֭י יְגָרַ֣ע נִטְפֵי־ מָ֑יִם יָזֹ֖קּוּ מָטָ֣ר לְאֵדֽוֹ׃

KJV ²⁸ Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.

WLC ²⁸ אֲשֶֽׁר־ יִזְּל֥וּ שְׁחָקִ֑ים יִ֝רְעֲפ֗וּ עֲלֵ֤י ׀ אָדָ֬ם רָֽב׃

KJV ²⁹ Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?

WLC ²⁹ אַ֣ף אִם־ יָ֭בִין מִפְרְשֵׂי־ עָ֑ב תְּ֝שֻׁא֗וֹת סֻכָּתֽוֹ׃

KJV ³⁰ Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.

WLC ³⁰ הֵן־ פָּרַ֣שׂ עָלָ֣יו אוֹר֑וֹ וְשָׁרְשֵׁ֖י הַיָּ֣ם כִּסָּֽה׃

KJV ³¹ For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance.

WLC ³¹ כִּי־ בָ֭ם יָדִ֣ין עַמִּ֑ים יִֽתֶּן־ אֹ֥כֶל לְמַכְבִּֽיר׃

KJV ³² With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.

WLC ³² עַל־ כַּפַּ֥יִם כִּסָּה־ א֑וֹר וַיְצַ֖ו עָלֶ֣יהָ בְמַפְגִּֽיעַ׃

KJV ³³ The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.

WLC ³³ יַגִּ֣יד עָלָ֣יו רֵע֑וֹ מִ֝קְנֶ֗ה אַ֣ף עַל־ עוֹלֶֽה׃
