The Prophet’s Second Question
12 Are You not (A)from everlasting,
O Lord my God, my Holy One?
We shall not die.
O Lord, (B)You have appointed them for judgment;
O Rock, You have marked them for (C)correction.
13 You are of purer eyes than to behold evil,
And cannot look on wickedness.
Why do You look on those who deal treacherously,
And hold Your tongue when the wicked devours
A person more righteous than he?
Proverbs 26:21

So is a contentious man to kindle strife.

42 So all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, “Because the king is (B)a close relative of ours. Why then are you angry over this matter? Have we ever eaten at the king’s expense? Or has he given us any gift?”
43 And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, “We have (C)ten shares in the king; therefore we also have more right to David than you. Why then do you despise us—were we not the first to advise bringing back our king?”
Yet (D)the words of the men of Judah were [a]fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.
