2 How long wilt thou speak these things and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind

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 enquire 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

10 Shall not they teach thee and tell thee and utter words out of their heart

11 Can the rush grow up without mire can the flag grow without water

12 Whilst it is yet in his greenness and not cut down it withereth before any other herb

13 So are the paths of all that forget God and the hypocrite's hope shall perish

14 Whose hope shall be cut off and whose trust shall be a spider's web

15 He shall lean upon his house but it shall not stand he shall hold it fast but it shall not endure

16 He is green before the sun and his branch shooteth forth in his garden

17 His roots are wrapped about the heap and seeth the place of stones

18 If he destroy him from his place then it shall deny him saying I have not seen thee

19 Behold this is the joy of his way and out of the earth shall others grow

20 Behold God will not cast away a perfect man neither will he help __ the evil doers

21 Till he fill thy mouth with laughing and thy lips with rejoicing

22 They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought
