4 Your children sinned against God,and he punished them for their sins.
5 But you should ask God for helpand pray to the Almighty for mercy.
6 If you are good and honest,he will stand up for youand bring you back where you belong.
7 Where you began will seem unimportant,because your future will be so successful.
8 “Ask old people;find out what their ancestors learned,
9 because we were only born yesterday and know nothing.Our days on earth are only a shadow.
10 Those people will teach you and tell youand speak about what they know.
