8Are you finallyH6030H1085H7747H559
2through with your windy speech?H575H5704H4448H561H6310H3524H7307
3God never twists justice; he never fails to do what is right.H410H5791H4941H7706H5791H6664
4Your children must have sinned against God, and so he punished them as they deserved.H1121H2398H7971H3027H6588
5But turn now and plead with Almighty God;H7836H410H7836H2603H7706
6if you are so honest and pure, then God will come and help you and restore your household as your reward.H2134H3477H5782H5116H6664H7999
7All the wealth you lost will be nothing compared with what God will give you then.H7225H4705H319H3966H7685
8Look for a moment at ancient wisdom; consider the truths our ancestors learned.H7592H7223H7223H1755H3559H2714H1
9Our life is short, we know nothing at all; we pass like shadows across the earth.H8543H3045H3117H776H6738
10But let the ancient wise people teach you; listen to what they had to say:H3384H559H3318H4405H3820
11"Reeds can't grow where there is no water; they are never found outside a swamp.H1573H1342H1207H7685H260H7685H1097H4325
12If the water dries up, they are the first to wither, while still too small to be cut and used.H3H6998H3001H6440H2682
13Godless people are like those reeds; their hope is gone, once God is forgotten.H734H7911H410H2611H8615H6
14They trust a thread - a spider's web.H3689H6990H4009H5908H1004
15If they lean on a web, will it hold them up? If they grab for a thread, will it help them stand?"H8172H1004H5975H2388H6965
16Evil people sprout like weeds in the sun, like weeds that spread all through the garden.H7373H6440H8121H3127H3318H1593
17Their roots wrap around the stones and hold fast to every rock.H8328H5440H1530H2372H1004H68
18But then pull them up - no one will ever know they were there.H1104H4725H3584H7200
19Yes, that's all the joy evil people have; others now come and take their places.H4885H1870H6083H312H6779
20But God will never abandon the faithful or ever give help to evil people.H410H3988H8535H2388H3027H7489
21He will let you laugh and shout again,H4390H6310H7814H8193H8643
22but he will bring disgrace on those who hate you, and the homes of the wicked will vanish.H8130H3847H1322H168H7563H369
