For I have yet somewhat to say on God’s behalf.

And will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

One that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.

He is mighty in strength of understanding.

But giveth to the afflicted their right.

But with kings upon the throne

He setteth them for ever, and they are exalted.

And be taken in the cords of affliction;

And their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.

And commandeth that they return from iniquity.

They shall spend their days in prosperity,

And their years in pleasures.

And they shall die without knowledge.

They cry not for help when he bindeth them.

And their life perisheth among the unclean.

And openeth their ear in oppression.

Into a broad place, where there is no straitness;

And that which is set on thy table would be full of fatness.

Judgment and justice take hold on thee.

Neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside.

Or all the forces of thy strength?

When peoples are cut off in their place.

For this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.

Who is a teacher like unto him?

Or who can say, Thou hast wrought unrighteousness?

Whereof men have sung.

Man beholdeth it afar off.

The number of his years is unsearchable.

Which distil in rain from his vapor,

And drop upon man abundantly.

The thunderings of his pavilion?

And he covereth the bottom of the sea.

He giveth food in abundance.

And giveth it a charge that it strike the mark.

The cattle also concerning the storm that cometh up.
