American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Therefore {Another reading is, he will bring back his people.}his people return hither:And waters of a full cup are drained by them.
And they say, How doth God know?And is there knowledge in the Most High?
Behold, these are the wicked;And, being alway at ease, they increase in riches.
Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart,And washed my hands in innocency;
For all the day long have I been plagued,And {Hebrew: my chastisement was.}chastened every morning.
If I had said, I will speak thus;Behold, I had dealt treacherously with the generation of thy children.
When I thought how I might know this,It was {Hebrew: labor in mine eyes.}too painful for me;
For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.
For whom Jehovah loveth he reproveth;Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
Behold, happy is the man whom God {Or, reproveth}correcteth:Therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty.
