13. And thou sayst: What doth God know? and he judgeth as it were through a mist.
14. The clouds are his covert, and he doth not consider our things, and he walketh about the poles of heaven.
15. Dost thou desire to keep the path of ages, which wicked men have trodden?
16. Who were taken away before their time, and a flood hath overthrown their foundation.
17. Who said to God: Depart from us: and looked upon the Almighty as if he could do nothing:
18. Whereas he had filled their houses with good things: whose way of thinking be far from me.
19. The just shall see, and shall rejoice, and the innocent shall laugh them to scorn.
20. Is not their exaltation cut down, and hath not fire devoured the remnants of them?
