38. Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that disaster and good will come?
39. Why should any living person complain about his sin?
40. Let us test and examine our ways; let us return to Yahweh.
41. Let us lift up our hearts with our hands to God in the heavens.
42. We ourselves have transgressed and rebelled, you have not forgiven.
43. You have covered yourself in anger and pursued us, you have slain and not shown mercy.
44. You have covered yourself in a cloud so that prayer cannot pass through.
