37. Who is he that saith, and there cometh to pass, what the Lord hath not commanded?
38. Out of the mouth of the Most High doth not there proceed evil and good?
39. Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
40. Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Jehovah.
41. Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto ·God in the heavens.
42. We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.
43. Thou hast covered thyself with anger, and pursued us; thou hast slain, thou hast not spared.
44. Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that prayer should not pass through.
45. Thou hast made us the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the peoples.
46. All our enemies have opened their mouth against us.
47. Fear and the pit are come upon us, devastation and ruin.
