2Give me a little more time, and I will make it clear to you; for I have still something to say for God.
2Honour me a little, and I shew thee, That yet for God <FI>are<Fi> words.
3I will get my knowledge from far, and I will give righteousness to my Maker.
3I lift up my knowledge from afar, And to my Maker I ascribe righteousness.
4For truly my words are not false; one who has all knowledge is talking with you.
4For, truly, my words <FI>are<Fi> not false, The perfect in knowledge <FI>is<Fi> with thee.
5Truly, God gives up the hard-hearted, and will not give life to the sinner.
5Lo, God <FI>is<Fi> mighty, and despiseth not, Mighty <FI>in<Fi> power <FI>and<Fi> heart.
6His eyes are ever on the upright, and he gives to the crushed their right;
6He reviveth not the wicked, And the judgment of the poor appointeth;
7Lifting them up to the seat of kings, and making them safe for ever.
7He withdraweth not from the righteous His eyes, And <FI>from<Fi> kings on the throne, And causeth them to sit for ever, and they are high,
8And if they have been prisoned in chains, and taken in cords of trouble,
8And if prisoners in fetters They are captured with cords of affliction,
9Then he makes clear to them what they have done, even their evil works in which they have taken pride.
9Then He declareth to them their work, And their transgressions, Because they have become mighty,
10Their ear is open to his teaching, and he gives them orders so that their hearts may be turned from evil.
10And He uncovereth their ear for instruction, And saith that they turn back from iniquity.
11If they give ear to his voice, and do his word, then he gives them long life, and years full of pleasure.
11If they do hear and serve, They complete their days in good, And their years in pleasantness.
12But if not, they come to their end, and give up their breath without knowledge.
12And if they do not hearken, By the dart they pass away, And expire without knowledge.
13Those who have no fear of God keep wrath stored up in their hearts; they give no cry for help when they are made prisoners.
13And the profane in heart set the face, They cry not when He hath bound them.
14They come to their end while they are still young, their life is short like that of those who are used for sex purposes in the worship of their gods.
14Their soul dieth in youth, And their life among the defiled.
15He makes the wrong done to the poor the way of their salvation, opening their ears by their trouble.
15He draweth out the afflicted in his affliction, And uncovereth in oppression their ear.
16...
16And also He moved thee from a strait place, <FI>To<Fi> a broad place--no straitness under it, And the sitting beyond of thy table Hath been full of fatness.
17...
17And the judgment of the wicked thou hast fulfilled, Judgment and justice are upheld--because of fury,
21Take care not to be turned to sin, for you have taken evil for your part in place of sorrow.
21Take heed--do not turn unto iniquity, For on this thou hast fixed Rather than <FI>on<Fi> affliction.
22Truly God is lifted up in strength; who is a ruler like him?
22Lo, God doth sit on high by His power, Who <FI>is<Fi> like Him--a teacher?
23Who ever gave orders to him, or said to him, You have done wrong?
23Who hath appointed unto Him his way? And who said, `Thou hast done iniquity?'
24See that you give praise to his work, about which men make songs.
24Remember that thou magnify His work That men have beheld.
25All people are looking on it; man sees it from far.
25All men have looked on it, Man looketh attentively from afar.
26Truly, God is great, greater than all our knowledge; the number of his years may not be searched out.
26Lo, God <FI>is<Fi> high, And we know not the number of His years, Yea, there <FI>is<Fi> no searching.
27For he takes up the drops from the sea; he sends them through his mist as rain,
27When He doth diminish droppings of the waters, They refine rain according to its vapour,
28Flowing down from the sky, and dropping on the peoples.
28Which clouds do drop, They distil on man abundantly.
29And who has knowledge of how the clouds are stretched out, or of the thunders of his tent?
29Yea, doth <FI>any<Fi> understand The spreadings out of a cloud? The noises of His tabernacle?
30See, he is stretching out his mist, covering the tops of the mountains with it.
30Lo, He hath spread over it His light, And the roots of the sea He hath covered,
31For by these he gives food to the peoples, and bread in full measure.
31For by them He doth judge peoples, He giveth food in abundance.
