One thing there is that I have spoken: Both the innocent and the wicked he consumeth.
Thy hands have made me and fashioned me wholly round about. And dost thou thus cast me down headlong on a sudden?
Doth it seem good to thee that thou shouldst calumniate me, and oppress me, the work of thy own hands, and help the counsel of the wicked?
And shouldst know that I have done no wicked thing, whereas there is no man that can deliver out of thy hand.
I know that thou wilt deliver me to death, where a house is appointed for every one that liveth.
All flesh shall perish together: and man shall return into ashes.
For he hath said: Man shall not please God, although he run with him.
Son of man, prophesy and say: Thus saith the Lord God: Say: The sword, the sword, is sharpened and furbished.
