To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,
To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.
Who [is] he [that] saith, and it cometh to pass, [when] the Lord commandeth [it] not?
Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?
Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.
Let us lift up our heart with [our] hands unto God in the heavens.
We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.
Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.
Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that [our] prayer should not pass through.
