Your words have upheld him who was stumbling,
    and you have (A)made firm the feeble knees.
But now it has come to you, and you are impatient;
    it touches you, and you are dismayed.
(B)Is not your fear of God[a] your (C)confidence,
    and the integrity of your ways your hope?

“Remember: (D)who that was innocent ever perished?
    Or where were the upright cut off?
As I have seen, those who (E)plow iniquity
    and sow trouble reap the same.
By (F)the breath of God they perish,
    and by (G)the blast of his anger they are consumed.
