2. Bear with me a little, and I will show thee that I have yet to speak on behalf of Eloah.
3. I will get my da'as from afar, and will ascribe tzedek to my Maker.
4. For truly my words shall not be sheker; one that is tamim (complete) in da'as is among thee.
5. See, El is kabir (mighty), and despiseth not any; He is kabir in ko'ach lev (strength of understanding).
6. He preserveth not the life of the rasha, but giveth mishpat to the aniyim.
7. He withdraweth not His eyes from the tzaddik, but with melachim are they on the kisse; yea, He doth establish them lanetzach (forever), and they are exalted.
8. And if they be bound in chains, and be held fast in chevlei oni (cords of affliction),
9. Then He showeth them their work, and their peysha'im that they have done arrogantly.
10. He openeth also their ozen to musar (discipline), and commandeth that they make teshuvah and turn from evil.
11. If they obey and serve Him, they shall spend their yamim in tov (prosperity), and their shanim in contentment.
12. But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without da'as.
13. But the chanefei lev (irreligious in heart, hypocrites) incur wrath; they do not cry for help when He bindeth them.
