The Holy Scripture
Chapter XII
But I will say this as I think. And I will speak against you, O land, which art prospering. 1a But I will say this as 1 think, And speak against you, the land that is prospering.
The noonday does not always burn. Nor do the rays of the sun constantly give light. 2a Not always does the noonday burn, Nor do the rays of the sun constantly give light.
Do not expect [and hope] that you will always be prosperous and rejoicing. And be not greatly up lifted and boastful. 3a And do not you expect to rejoice, Nor condemn greatly.
For assuredly in its own season shall the (divine) wrath awake against you. Which now in long-suffering is held in as it were by reins. 4a For assuredly in its season shall the (divine) wrath be awakened against you, Which is now restrained by long-suffering as it were by a rein. 12:5-13.
