Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?
O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants’ sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.
Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously?
O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD.
