38 Is it not from the mouth of the Most HighThat woe and well-being proceed?
39 Why should a living man complain,A man for the punishment of his sins?
40 Let us search out and examine our ways,And turn back to the Lord;
41 Let us lift our hearts and handsTo God in heaven.
42 We have transgressed and rebelled;You have not pardoned.
43 You have covered Yourself with angerAnd pursued us;You have slain and not pitied.
44 You have covered Yourself with a cloud,That prayer should not pass through.
