You who tear yourself in your anger, shall the earth be forsaken for you, or the rock be removed out of its place?
He has torn me in his wrath and hated me; he has gnashed his teeth at me; my adversary sharpens his eyes against me.
“But the mountain falls and crumbles away, and the rock is removed from its place;
Why should I take my flesh in my teeth and put my life in my hand?
And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out. It convulses him so that he foams at the mouth, and shatters him, and will hardly leave him.
And whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid. So I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able.”
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
But God said to Jonah, “Do you do well to be angry for the plant?” And he said, “Yes, I do well to be angry, angry enough to die.”
Then he said to me, “The guilt of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great. The land is full of blood, and the city full of injustice. For they say, ‘The Lord has forsaken the land, and the Lord does not see.’
For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you.
Will you even put me in the wrong? Will you condemn me that you may be in the right?
Surely vexation kills the fool, and jealousy slays the simple.
