Hebrew there are yet words for God.

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

3I will fetch my knowledge from afar,

And will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

4For truly my words are not false:

One that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.

5Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any:

He is mighty in strength of

6He preserveth not the life of the wicked,

But giveth to the afflicted their right.

7He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous:

But with kings upon the throne

He setteth them for ever, and they are exalted.

8And if they be bound in fetters,

And be taken in the cords of affliction;

9Then he showeth them their work,

And their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.

10He openeth also their ear to instruction,

And commandeth that they return from iniquity.

11If they hearken and serve him,

They shall spend their days in prosperity,

And their years in

12But if they hearken not, they shall perish by

the sword,

And they shall die without knowledge.

13But they that are godless in heart lay up anger:

They cry not for help when he bindeth them.

Judgment and justice take hold on thee.

Or, Because there is wrath, beware lest thou be led away by thy sufficiency

For let not wrath stir thee up against chastisements;

Neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside.

19Will thy cry avail, that thou be not in distress,

Or all the forces of thy strength?

21Take heed, regard not iniquity:

For this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.

22Behold, God doeth loftily in his power:

Who is a teacher like unto him?

Or who can say, Thou hast wrought unrighteousness?

24Remember that thou magnify his work,

Whereof men have sung.

25All men have looked thereon;

Man beholdeth it afar off.

26Behold, God is great, and we know him not;

The number of his years is unsearchable.
