2 “If one tries a word with you, would you become impatient? But who is able to withhold himself from speaking?
3 See, you have instructed many, and you have made weak hands strong.
4 Your words have raised up him who was stumbling, and you have strengthened the weak knees.
5 But now it has come to you, and you are impatient; it strikes you, and you are troubled.
6 Is not your reverence your trust, the integrity of ways your expectancy?
7 Remember, please: Who, being innocent, has ever perished? And where have the straight ones ever been cut off?
8 According to what I have seen, those who plough wickedness and sow suffering reap the same.
