8:6 | If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous. |
8:7 | Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase. |
8:8 | For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers: |

8:22 | They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought. |
