3 "Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert what is right?
4 "If your sons sinned against Him, Then He delivered them into the power of their transgression.
5 "If you would seek God And implore the compassion of the Almighty,
6 If you are pure and upright, Surely now He would rouse Himself for you And restore your righteous estate.
7 "Though your beginning was insignificant, Yet your end will increase greatly.
8 "Please inquire of past generations, And consider the things searched out by their fathers.
