My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,

Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

And the man said, The woman whom You gave to be with me, she has given to me of the tree, and I ate.

O Jehovah, why have You made us wander from Your ways, and hardened our heart from Your fear? For the sake of Your servants, return the tribes of Your inheritance.

Woe to him who builds a town with blood and establishes a city by iniquity.

Behold, is it not of Jehovah of Hosts that the people labor only to feed the fire, and nations weary themselves only for vanity.

You will say to me then, Why does He yet find fault? For who has resisted His will?

No, rather, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, Why have you made me like this?
