“Behold you have admonished many,
And you have strengthened weak hands.

“You will know also that your descendants will be many,
And your offspring as the grass of the earth.

“How many are my iniquities and sins?
Make known to me my rebellion and my sin.

Sorry comforters are you all.

And many such decrees are with Him.

“Though his sons are many, they are destined for the sword;
And his descendants will not be satisfied with bread.

“If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against Him?
And if your transgressions are many, what do you do to Him?

“Will he make many supplications to you,
Or will he speak to you soft words?
