Lamentations 3:41 bbe — Lifting up our hearts with our hands to God in the heavens.

Do not evil and good come from the mouth of the Most High?

What protest may a living man make, even a man about the punishment of his sin?

Let us make search and put our ways to the test, turning again to the Lord;

We have done wrong and gone against your law; we have not had your forgiveness.

Covering yourself with wrath you have gone after us, cutting us off without pity;

Covering yourself with a cloud, so that prayer may not get through.
