35. to turn aside the justice due a manin the presence of the Most High,
36. to subvert a man in his cause,the Lord does not approve.
37. Who is he who speaks and it comes to pass,unless the Lord has commanded it?
38. Is it not from the mouth of the Most Highthat good and bad proceed?
39. Why should a living man complain,a man for the punishment of his sins?
40. Let us search and try our ways,and return to the Lord!
41. Let us lift up our hearts and handsto God in heaven:
42. We have transgressed and rebelled;You have not pardoned.
43. You have covered Yourself with anger and pursued us;You have killed and not pitied.
44. You have covered Yourself with a cloud,so that no prayer should pass through.
