Lord, thine eyes behold faith; thou hast smitten them, and they made not sorrow; thou hast all-broken them, and they forsook to take chastising; they made their faces harder than a stone, and would not turn again.
as it is written in the law of Moses. All this evil came [up] on us, and, our Lord God, we prayed not thy face, that we should turn again from our wickednesses, and should think thy truth.
