55 "I have said all these things before you, Lord, because you have said that you created the oldest age for our sake.
56 You have said that the other nations born of Adam are nothing, that they are like spit, and you have compared their abundance to a drop from a pitcher.
57 But look now, Lord! These nations that are valued as nothing rule over us and devour us,
58 while we, your people, whom you have called your oldest offspring, your one and only child, those who are zealous for you, your dearest ones, are handed over to them.
59 If the world was created for our sake, why don’t we possess our world as an inheritance? How long will this situation last?"
