thou before

the voice

of them all.

thy servant

thee: {take...: Heb. give not thine heart}

great

offences
<02399>_.

If thou seest
<07200> (8799)

the oppression

and violent
<01499>

perverting of judgment

and justice
<06664>

in a province
<04082>_,

marvel
<08539> (8799)

not at the matter

thy seed
<02233>_,

and in the evening
<06153>

withhold
<03240> (8686)

not thine hand

not whether
<0335>

shall prosper

either this or that, or whether they both
<08147>

[shall be] alike
<0259>

good
<02896>_.

{shall prosper: Heb. shall be right}
