4 If your children sinned against him,then he delivered them into the power of their rebellion.
5 If you will search eagerly for God,plead with the Almighty.
6 If you are pure and do the right thing,then surely he will become active on your behalfand reward your innocent dwelling.
7 Although your former state was ordinary,your future will be extraordinary.
