38:16 O sovereign master, your decrees can give men life;
may years of life be restored to me.
Restore my health and preserve my life.’

O daughter of the Babylonians!

Israel, whom I summoned!
I am the one;
I am present at the very beginning
and at the very end.
54:11 “O afflicted one, driven away, and unconsoled!

and I lay your foundation with lapis-lazuli.

they should keep praying all day and all night.
You who pray to the Lord, don’t be silent!
