And when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? Alike whether [it be done] unto a nation, or unto a man: 30 That the godless man reign not, That there be none to ensnare the people. 31 For hath any said unto God, I have borne [chastisement], I will not offend [any more] : 32 That which I see not teach thou me: If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more? 33 Shall his recompense be as thou wilt, that thou refusest it? For thou must choose, and not I: Therefore speak what thou knowest.
