Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken (22:9) Therefore snares [are] round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee; (22:10) Or darkness, [that] thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee (22:11) [Is] not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are! (22:12) And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud? (22:13) Thick clouds [are] a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven (22:14) Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden? (22:15) Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood: (22:16) Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them? (22:17) Yet he filled their houses with good [things]: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me (22:18) The righteous see [it], and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn (22:19) Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth (22:20) Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee (22:21) Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart (22:22) If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles (22:23) Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the [gold] of Ophir as the stones of the brooks (22:24) Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver (22:25) For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God (22:26) Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows (22:27) Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways (22:28) When [men] are cast down, then thou shalt say, [There is] lifting up; and he shall save the humble person (22:29) He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands
(22:30)
