Elihu’s Fourth Speech Elihu said further:

“Be patient with me a little longer and I will instruct you, for I still have words to speak on God’s behalf.

With my knowledge I will speak comprehensively, and to my Creator I will ascribe righteousness.

For in truth, my words are not false; it is one complete in knowledge who is with you.

Indeed, God is mighty; and he does not despise people, he is mighty, and firm in his intent.
