Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?
If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression; {for...: Heb. in the hand of their transgression}
If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;
If thou {wert} pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
