27. Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:
28. So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
29. When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:
30. That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.
31. Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:
32. That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
33. Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.
