2How long will you speak these things and a proud spirit fill your mouth?

3Will God practice evil judgment, or the Almighty One pervert the right?

4If your children sinned against him, he sent them away in their sins

8Ask now about the first generations and discern the search of their fathers

9For we are of yesterday; we know nothing, and our days on the Earth are like a shadow

14And his trust will be cut down, and his house is the house of the spider

15He will put trust on his house and it will not stand, and he will hold firmly and it will not be established

19Behold, he examines all their ways, and from the dust another will sprout

20God does not despise the perfect and does not hold evil doers by the hand

21Until your mouth will be filled with laughter and your lips with a song

22Your haters will be clothed in shame and the tent of the wicked is not
