11 And who are you to test the Lord?
12 This is not a word that will provoke mercy, but rather one that may excite wrath and enkindle fury.
13 You have set a time limit for the mercy of the Lord, and you have established a day for him, according to your choice.
14 But, since the Lord is patient, let us be repentant about this same matter, and let us beg his indulgence with many tears.
15 For God will not threaten like man, nor will he be inflamed to anger like a son of man.
16 And, for this reason, let us humble our souls before him, and, continuing to serve him in a spirit of humility,
17 let us speak to the Lord with tears, so that he may act according to his will in his mercy toward us. So then, just as our heart is disturbed by their arrogance, so also may we glory in our humility.
