18:008:003 Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?
18:008:004 If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression;
18:008:005 If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;
18:008:006 If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
18:008:007 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.
18:008:008 For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:
18:008:009 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)
18:008:010 Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?
18:008:011 Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?
