4. Although thy children have sinned against him, and he hath left them in the hand of their iniquity:
5. Yet if thou wilt arise early to God, and wilt beseech the Almighty:
6. If thou wilt walk clean and upright, he will presently awake onto thee, and will make the dwelling of thy justice peaceable:
7. Insomuch, that if thy former things were small, thy latter things would be multiplied exceedingly.
8. For inquire of the former generation, and search diligently into the memory of the fathers:
9. (For we are but of yesterday, and are ignorant that our days upon earth are but a shadow:)
10. And they shall teach thee: they shall speak to thee, and utter words out of their hearts.
