15 So where is your sense of joy? For I testify that you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me, if possible.
16 So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?!
17 Others zealously court you—not in a good way, but they wish to shut you out so that you will court them.
18 To be courted is good, but let it always be in a good way—and not just when I am there with you.
19 My dear children! Again I suffer labor pains until Messiah is formed in you.
20 I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, for I don’t know what to make of you.
21 Tell me, you who want to be under Torah, don’t you understand the Torah?
