I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.
Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.
These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me.
Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste.
I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
