28:28 Grain is crushed,
though one certainly does not thresh it forever.
The wheel of one’s wagon rolls over it,
but his horses do not crush it.
47:7 You said,
‘I will rule forever as permanent queen!’ 1
You did not think about these things; 2
you did not consider how it would turn out. 3
57:16 For I will not be hostile 4 forever
or perpetually angry,
for then man’s spirit would grow faint before me, 5
the life-giving breath I created.
