16. Your words came to me, and I listened carefully to them.Your words made me very happy,because I am called by your name,Lord God All-Powerful.
17. I never sat with the crowdas they laughed and had fun.I sat by myself, because you were there,and you filled me with anger at the evil around me.
18. I don’t understand why my pain has no end.I don’t understand why my injury is not cured or healed.Will you be like a brook that goes dry?Will you be like a spring that stops flowing?
