5:21 And after seven days so it was, that the thoughts of my heart were very grievous unto me again,
5:22 And my soul recovered the spirit of understanding, and I began to talk with the most High again,
5:23 And said, O Lord that bearest rule, of every wood of the earth, and of all the trees thereof, thou hast chosen thee one only vine:
5:24 And of all lands of the whole world thou hast chosen thee one pit: and of all the flowers thereof one lily:
5:25 And of all the depths of the sea thou hast filled thee one river: and of all builded cities thou hast hallowed Sion unto thyself:
5:26 And of all the fowls that are created thou hast named thee one dove: and of all the cattle that are made thou hast provided thee one sheep:
5:27 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.
5:28 And now, O Lord, 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?
5:29 And they which did gainsay thy promises, and believed not thy covenants, have trodden them down.
5:30 If thou didst so much hate thy people, yet shouldest thou punish them with thine own hands.
