36. Or wrong a man in his cause – This יהוה does not approve.
37. Who was it that spoke, And it came to be! Has יהוה not commanded it?
38. Do not the evils and the good Come out of the mouth of the Most High?
39. What? Should mankind complain, A living man, because of his sins?
40. Let us search and examine our ways, And turn back to יהוה.
41. Let us lift our hearts and hands To Ěl in the heavens and say:
42. We, we have transgressed and rebelled. You, You have not forgiven.
43. You have wrapped Yourself With displeasure and pursued us. You have slain, You have not shown compassion.
44. You have wrapped Yourself With a cloud, so that prayer does not pass through.
45. You make us as scum and refuse In the midst of the peoples.
46. All our enemies have opened their mouth against us.
47. Fear and a snare have come upon us, Shame and ruin.
