39. Why should we ever complain when we are punished for our sin?
40. Let us examine our ways and turn back to the Lord.
41. Let us open our hearts to God in heaven and pray,
42. “We have sinned and rebelled, and you, O Lord, have not forgiven us.
43. “You pursued us and killed us; your mercy was hidden by your anger,
44. By a cloud of fury too thick for our prayers to get through.
