But I speak this according to my thought, and I speak against you, land that prospers:
2
The middle of the day does not always burn, nor do the rays of the sun continually give light.
3
Do not suppose that you shall prosper and rejoice at all times. Do not greatly exalt yourself and oppress.
4
For in its time wrath shall truly awaken against you—| the wrath now held as though by bridles through long-suffering.
5
When I had spoken these things, I fasted seven days.
