3 Behold, you have instructed many, you have strengthened the weak hands.
4 Your words have supported him who was falling, You have made firm the feeble knees.
5 But now it has come to you, and you faint. It touches you, and you are troubled.
6 Isn’t your piety your confidence? Isn’t the integrity of your ways your hope?
7 “Remember, now, whoever perished, being innocent? Or where were the upright cut off?
8 According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity, and sow trouble, reap the same.
9 By the breath of God they perish. By the blast of his anger are they consumed.
