3 Doth God pervert judgment?Or doth the Almighty pervert justice?
4 If thy children have sinned against him,and he have cast them away for their transgression;
5 if thou wouldest seek unto God betimes,and make thy supplication to the Almighty;
6 if thou wert pure and upright;surely now he would awake for thee,and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
7 Though thy beginning was small,yet thy latter end should greatly increase.
8 For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age,and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:
9 (for we are but of yesterday, and know nothing,because our days upon earth are a shadow.)
