אֱלוַֹהּ אֱלוַֹהּ

But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.

Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you on this manner, neither yet believe him: for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of mine hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of mine hand?

And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not.

Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.

Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?

By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.

Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?

Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:

For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.

Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!

Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!

If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.

I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.

But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;

And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.

Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?

I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.

The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.

Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?

My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.

O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour!

Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.

Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
