² How long wilt thou speak these things?
And how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a mighty wind?
³ Doth God pervert justice?
Or doth the Almighty pervert righteousness?
^4 [a]If thy children have sinned against him,
And he hath delivered them into the hand of their transgression;
⁵ If thou wouldest seek diligently unto God,
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 And though thy beginning was small,
Yet thy latter end would greatly increase.
