 * And their transgressions that they have exceeded.
 * He openeth also their ear to discipline,
 * And commandeth that they return from iniquity.
 * If they obey and serve him,
 * They shall spend their days in prosperity,
 * And their years in pleasures.
 * But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword,
 * And they shall die without knowledge.
 * But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath:
 * They cry not when he bindeth them.
 * They die in youth,
 * And their life is among the unclean.
 * He delivereth the poor in his affliction,
 * And openeth their ears in oppression.

 * Into a broad place, where there is no straitness;
