So I trampled them in My wrath and brought their blood down to the ground.” Isaiah 63, verse 7. I remembered the Lord's mercy, the praises of the Lord in all things in which the Lord recompenses us.

Where are Your zeal and Your strength; where is the multitude of Your mercy and Your compassion, so as to be patient with us? Isaiah 63, verse 16.

Isaiah 63, verse 17. Why have you led us astray, O Lord, from Your path, and hardened our hearts so as not to fear You?
