3Will the Lord be unjust when he judges; Or will he that has made all things pervert justice?

4If thy sons have sinned before him, He has cast them away because of their transgression.

6If thou art pure and true, he will hearken to thy supplication, And will restore to thee the habitation of righteousness.

7Though then thy beginning should be small, Yet thy end should be unspeakably great.
