38. And he blesseth them, so that they are multiplied greatly; and he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39. And they are diminished and brought low, through oppression, adversity, and sorrow:
40. He poureth contempt upon nobles, and causeth them to wander in a pathless waste;
41. But he secureth the needy one on high from affliction, and maketh him families like flocks.
42. The upright shall see it, and rejoice; and all unrighteousness shall stop its mouth.
43. Whoso is wise, let him observe these things, and let them understand the loving-kindnesses of Jehovah.
