21:12 The watchman replies,
“Morning is coming, but then night.
If you want to ask, ask;
come back again.”
26:13 O Lord, our God,
masters other than you have ruled us,
but we praise your name alone.
43:22 “But you did not call for me, O Jacob;
you did not long for me, O Israel.
48:10 Look, I have refined you, but not as silver;
I have purified you in the furnace of misery.
57:12 I will denounce your so-called righteousness and your deeds,
but they will not help you.
63:10 But they rebelled and offended his holy Spirit,
so he turned into an enemy
and fought against them.
63:18 For a short time your special nation possessed a land,
but then our adversaries knocked down your holy sanctuary.
63:19 We existed from ancient times,
but you did not rule over them,
they were not your subjects.
