36. To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approves not.
37. Who is he that says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord commands it not?
38. Out of the mouth of the most High proceeds not evil and good?
39. Why does a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
40. Let us search and examine our ways, and turn again to the LORD.
41. Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
42. We have transgressed and have rebelled: you have not pardoned.
43. You have covered with anger, and persecuted us: you have slain, you have not pitied.
44. You have covered yourself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.
45. You have made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.
46. All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
47. Fear and a snare has come upon us, desolation and destruction.
48. My eye runs down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49. My eye flows down, and ceases not, without any intermission,
50. Till the LORD looks down, and beholds from heaven.
