I have heard the check of my reproach, And the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.
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.
I will teach you by the hand of God: That which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, And for this I make haste.
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.
