-
5 If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;
-
6 If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
-
7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.

-
11 Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?
