New International Version (NIV)

7You descendants of Jacob, should it be said,

“Does the Lord become2:7 Or Is the Spirit of the Lord impatient?

Does he do such things?”

“Do not my words do good

to the one whose ways are upright?

7“Is it being said, house of Jacob:

‘Is the Spirit of the Lord impatient?

Are these His works?’

Do My words not do good

For the one walking rightly?

7Is it being said, O house of Jacob:

‘Is the Spirit of the Lord impatient?

Are these His doings?’

Do not My words do good

To the one walking uprightly?

7“Is it being said, O house of Jacob:

‘Is the Spirit of the Lord impatient?

Or are these [prophesied judgments] His doings?’

Do not My words do good

To the one walking uprightly?

7Should it be said, O house of Jacob,

“Is the Spirit of the Lord impatient?

Are these the things He does?”

Do not My words bring good

to him who walks uprightly?

7People of Jacob, should anyone say,

“The Lord is patient,

so he wouldn’t do things like that”?

The Lord replies, “What I promise brings good things

to those who lead honest lives.
