“If one ventures a word with you, will you be impatient? Yet who can keep from speaking?
-
Why do you not pardon my transgression and take away my iniquity? For now I shall lie in the earth; you will seek me, but I shall not be.”
-
If you will seek God and plead with the Almighty for mercy,
-
Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, and the tent of the wicked will be no more.”
-
I become afraid of all my suffering, for I know you will not hold me innocent.
-
yet you will plunge me into a pit, and my own clothes will abhor me.
-
“If you prepare your heart, you will stretch out your hands toward him.
-
Surely then you will lift up your face without blemish; you will be secure and will not fear.
-
You will forget your misery; you will remember it as waters that have passed away.
-
And you will feel secure, because there is hope; you will look around and take your rest in security.
-
You will lie down, and none will make you afraid; many will court your favor.
-
Since you have closed their hearts to understanding, therefore you will not let them triumph.
-
If you return to the Almighty you will be built up; if you remove injustice far from your tents,
-
For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty and lift up your face to God.
-
You will make your prayer to him, and he will hear you, and you will pay your vows.
-
You will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you, and light will shine on your ways.
-
For I know that you will bring me to death and to the house appointed for all living.
-
“Is the wild ox willing to serve you? Will he spend the night at your manger?
-
Will he make many pleas to you? Will he speak to you soft words?
-
Lay your hands on him; remember the battle—you will not do it again!
