And is contrary to our works,

And upbraideth us with sins against the law,

And layeth to our charge sins against our discipline.

He professeth to have knowledge of God,

And nameth himself servant of the Lord.

He became to us a reproof of our thoughts.

He is grievous unto us even to behold,

Because his life is unlike other men’s,

And his paths are of strange fashion.

We were accounted of him as base metal,
