If of power, lo, the Strong One; And if of judgment -- who doth convene me?
Who giveth to me a hearing? lo, my mark. The Mighty One doth answer me, And a bill hath mine adversary written.
Wise in heart and strong in power -- Who hath hardened toward Him and is at peace?
Once hath God spoken, twice I heard this, That `strength `is' with God.'
And with Thee, O Lord, `is' kindness, For Thou dost recompense to each, According to his work!
`And mayest Thou not lead us to temptation, but deliver us from the evil, because Thine is the reign, and the power, and the glory -- to the ages. Amen.
because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men;
do we arouse the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than He?
