| # Chapter 36
#### 1 | Eliu also proceeded, and said :
#### 2 | Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee : for I have yet somewhat to speak in God's behalf.
#### 3 | I will repeat my knowledge from the beginning, and I will prove my Maker just.
#### 4 | For indeed my words are without a lie, and perfect knowledge shall be proved to thee.
#### 5 | God doth not cast away the mighty, whereas he himself also is mighty.
#### 6 | But he saveth not the wicked, and he giveth judgment to the poor.
#### 7 | He will not take away his eyes from the just, and he placeth kings on the throne for ever, and they are exalted.
#### 8 | And if they shall be in chains, and be bound with the cords of poverty :
#### 9 | He shall shew them their works, and their wicked deeds, because they have been violent.
#### 10 | He also shall open their ear, to correct them : and shall speak, that they may return from iniquity.
#### 11 | If they shall hear and observe, they shall accomplish their days in good, and their years in glory.
#### 12 | But if they hear not, they shall pass by the sword, and shall be consumed in folly.
#### 13 | Dissemblers and crafty men prove the wrath of God, neither shall they cry when they are bound.
#### 14 | Their soul shall die in a storm, and their life among the effeminate.
#### 15 | He shall deliver the poor out of his distress, and shall open his ear in affliction.
#### 16 | Therefore he shall set thee at large out of the narrow mouth, and which hath no foundation under it : and the rest of thy table shall be full of fatness.
#### 17 | Thy cause hath been judged as that of the wicked, cause and judgment thou shalt recover.
#### 18 | Therefore let not anger overcome thee to oppress any man : neither let multitude of gifts turn thee aside.
#### 19 | Lay down thy greatness without tribulation, and all the mighty of strength.
#### 20 | Prolong not the night that people may come up for them.
#### 21 | Beware thou turn not aside to iniquity : for this thou hast begun to follow after misery.
#### 22 | Behold, God is high in his strength, and none is like him among the lawgivers.
#### 23 | Who can search out his ways? or who can say to him : Thou has wrought iniquity?
#### 24 | Remember that thou knowest not his work, concerning which men have sung.
#### 25 | All men see him, every one beholdeth afar off.
#### 26 | Behold, God is great, exceeding our knowledge : the number of his years is inestimable.
#### 27 | He lifteth up the drops of rain, and poureth out showers like floods :
#### 28 | Which flow from the clouds that cover all above.
#### 29 | If he will spread out clouds as his tent,
#### 30 | And lighten with his light from above, he shall cover also the ends of the sea.
#### 31 | For by these he judgeth people, and giveth food to many mortals.
#### 32 | In his hands he hideth the light, and commandeth it to come again.
#### 33 | He sheweth his friend concerning it, that it is his possession, and that he may come up to it.
