²³ Men shall clap their hands at him, And shall hiss him out of his place.

¹⁹ If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land;

²⁰ But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword; For the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it."

² "How long will you speak these things? Shall the words of your mouth be a mighty wind?

³ Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?

² "Shouldn't the multitude of words be answered? Should a man full of talk be justified?

³ Should your boastings make men hold their peace? When you mock, shall no man make you ashamed?

² "Even today is my complaint rebellious. His hand is heavy in spite of my groaning.

² "Do you think this to be your right, Or do you say, 'My righteousness is more than God's,'

³ That you ask, 'What advantage will it be to you? What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?'
