Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth. ###### 7 7 Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? ###### 8 8 It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know? ###### 9 9 The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea. ###### 10 10 If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him? ###### 11 11 For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it? ###### 12 12 For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt. ###### 13 13 If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him; ###### 14 14 If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles. ###### 15 15 For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be steadfast, and shalt not fear: ###### 16 16 Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away: ###### 17 17 And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning. ###### 18 18 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety. ###### 19 19 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee. ###### 20 20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
