² “How long will you speak these things?
    Shall the words of your mouth be a mighty wind?
³ Does God pervert justice?
    Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?
⁴ If your children have sinned against him,
    he has delivered them into the hand of their disobedience.
⁵ If you want to seek God diligently,
    make your supplication to the Almighty.
⁶ If you were pure and upright,
    surely now he would awaken for you,
and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous.
⁷     Though your beginning was small,
yet your latter end would greatly increase.
