Then go back to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has made ruler over the towns of Judah, and make your living-place with him among the people; or go wherever it seems right to you to go.

What is the Ruler of all, that we may give him worship? and what profit is it to us to make prayer to him?
Let his eyes see his trouble, and let him be full of the wrath of the Ruler of all!
For you say, Where is the house of the ruler, and where is the tent of the evil-doer?
Who said to God, Go away from us; and, What is the Ruler of all able to do to us?
If you come back to the Ruler of all, making yourself low before him; if you put evil far away from your tents;
Then the Ruler of all will be your gold, and his teaching will be your silver;
For then you will have delight in the Ruler of all, and your face will be lifted up to God.
Is it of any interest to the Ruler of all that you are upright? or is it of use to him that your ways are without sin?
For God has made my heart feeble, and my mind is troubled before the Ruler of all.
Why are times not stored up by the Ruler of all, and why do those who have knowledge of him not see his days?

Truly, God does not do evil, and the Ruler of all is not a false judge.
How may a hater of right be a ruler? and will you say that the upright Ruler of all is evil?
But God will not give ear to what is false, or the Ruler of all take note of it;
Truly God is lifted up in strength; who is a ruler like him?
There is no searching out of the Ruler of all: his strength and his judging are great; he is full of righteousness, doing no wrong.
Will he who is protesting give teaching to the Ruler of all? Let him who has arguments to put forward against God give an answer.
Truly, that man is happy who has training from the hand of God: so do not let your heart be shut to the teaching of the Ruler of all.
