Wherefore I will yet contend with you, saith Jehovah, and with your children's children will I contend.

Wherefore will ye contend with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith Jehovah.

Righteous art thou, O Jehovah, when I contend with thee; yet would I reason the cause with thee: wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they at ease that deal very treacherously?

If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and though in a land of peace thou art secure, yet how wilt thou do in the pride of the Jordan?

Give heed to me, O Jehovah, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me.
