37. Mem Who shall he be that saith that something comes which the Lord has not sent?
38. Mem Out of the mouth of the most High proceeds not evil and good?
39. Mem Why does the living man have pain, the man in his sins?
40. Nun Let us search out our ways, and seek, and turn again to the Lord.
41. Nun Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
42. Nun We have rebelled and been disloyal; therefore thou hast not forgiven.
43. Samech Thou hast unfurled anger and persecuted us; thou hast slain, thou hast not forgiven.
44. Samech Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud that our prayer should not pass through.
45. Samech Thou hast made us as the offscouring and abomination in the midst of the peoples.
46. Pe All our enemies have opened their mouths upon us.
47. Pe Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.
48. Pe My eyes stream with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49. Ain My eyes run down, and cease not, for there is no relief,
50. Ain Until the Lord looks down, and beholds from the heavens.
51. Ain My eyes make my soul sad because of all the daughters of my city.
