13 And you say,
a‘What does God know?
Can He judge through the deep darkness?
14 aThick clouds cover Him, so that He cannot see,
And He walks above the circle of heaven.’
15 Will you keep to the old way
Which wicked men have trod,
16 Who
awere cut down before their time,
Whose foundations were swept away by a flood?
17 aThey said to God, ‘Depart from us!
What can the Almighty do to
1 them?’
18 Yet He filled their houses with good
things;But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
19 “The
a righteous see
it and are glad,
And the innocent laugh at them:
20 ‘Surely our
1 adversaries are cut down,
And the fire consumes their remnant.’
21 “Now acquaint yourself with Him, and
abe at peace;
Thereby good will come to you.
22 Receive, please,
ainstruction from His mouth,
And
blay up His words in your heart.
