"And among all the multitudes of people thou hast gotten thee one people: and unto this people, whom thou lovedst, thou gavest A LAW that is approved of all. 28 And now, O Yah, why hast thou given this ONE PEOPLE OVER UNTO MANY? and upon the ONE ROOT HAST THOU PREPARED OTHERS, and why hast thou SCATTERED THY ONLY ONE PEOPLE AMONG MANY? 29 And they which did gainsay ( DISSENT FROM/FLY IN THE FACE) from thy promises, and believed NOT THY COVENANTS, have TRODDEN THEM DOWN. 30 If thou didst (DID) so much hate thy people, yet shouldest thou punish them with thine OWN HANDS. 31 Now when I had spoken these words, the angel that came to me the night afore was sent unto me, 32 And said unto me, Hear me, and I will instruct thee; hearken to the thing that I say, and I shall tell thee more. 33 And I said, Speak on, my Master. Then said he unto me, Thou art sore troubled in mind FOR YISAEL'S SAKE: lovest (DO YOU LOVE) thou THAT PEOPLE BETTER THAN HE THAT MADE THEM? 34 And I said, No, Master: but of very grief have I spoken: for my reins pain me every hour, while I labour to comprehend the way of THE MOST HIGH, and to seek out part of his judgment."
