"Ohthat I were as in monthsgoneby, As in the dayswhen Godwatchedover me;
"Have You not madea hedgeabouthim and his houseand allthat he has, on everyside?You have blessedthe workof his hands,and his possessionshave increasedin the land.
Soam I allottedmonthsof vanity,And nightsof troubleare appointedme.
For the LORDlovesjusticeAnd does not forsakeHis godlyones;They are preservedforever,But the descendantsof the wickedwill be cutoff.
"As I have watchedoverthem to pluckup, to breakdown,to overthrow,to destroyand to bringdisaster,soI will watchoverthem to buildand to plant,"declaresthe LORD.
