“My friends laugh at me now.\par They say,\par ‘He prayed to God,\par and he got his answer.\par \{That is why all these bad things\par happened to him.\}’\par
\{Your words are easy to say\par when nothing bad has happened.\}\par Even a wild donkey doesn’t complain\par when it has grass to eat.\par And a cow doesn’t complain\par when it has its food.\par
Honor the Lord your God.\par Praise him or he will bring darkness.\par Praise him before you fall on the dark hills.\par You people of Judah are hoping for light.\par But the Lord will turn the light into thick darkness.\par The Lord will change the light into a very thick darkness.\par
I will punish them
for the bad things they did.
But I am saving that punishment
for when they slip and do bad things.
Their time of trouble is near.
Their punishment will come quickly.’
