26:20 Go, my people! Enter your inner rooms!
Close your doors behind you!
Hide for a little while,
until his angry judgment is over! 1
40:11 Like a shepherd he tends his flock;
he gathers up the lambs with his arm;
he carries them close to his heart; 2
he leads the ewes along.

Who dares to argue with me? Let us confront each other! 3
Who is my accuser? 4 Let him challenge me! 5
