“If you should say, ‘How shall we persecute him?’ since the root of the matter is found in me,
All Israel will mourn for him and bury him, for he alone from the house of Jeroboam will come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward the Lord God of Israel.
Why do you persecute me as God does, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
be afraid of the sword for yourselves; for wrath brings the punishments of the sword, that you may know there is a judgment.”
For they persecute him whom You have struck, and they recount the pain of those whom You have wounded.
