14Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he seeth not; And he walketh on the vault of heaven.
15Wilt thou keep the old way Which wicked men have trodden?
16Who were snatched away before their time, Whose foundation was poured out as a stream,
17Who said unto God, Depart from us; And, What can the Almighty do for us?
18Yet he filled their houses with good things: But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
19The righteous see it, and are glad; And the innocent laugh them to scorn,
20Saying , Surely they that did rise up against us are cut off, And the remnant of them the fire hath consumed.
21Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: Thereby good shall come unto thee.
22Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, And lay up his words in thy heart.
23If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, If thou put away unrighteousness far from thy tents.
24And lay thou thy treasure in the dust, And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks;
25And the Almighty will be thy treasure, And precious silver unto thee.
26For then shalt thou delight thyself in the Almighty, And shalt lift up thy face unto God.
27Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he will hear thee; And thou shalt pay thy vows.
28Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee; And light shall shine upon thy ways.
29When they cast thee down, thou shalt say, There is lifting up; And the humble person he will save.
30He will deliver even him that is not innocent: Yea, he shall be delivered through the cleanness of thy hands.
