The yoke in his youth.

30 (D)Let him give his cheek to the one who strikes him,
And be full of reproach.

That (A)woe and well-being proceed?

(C)A man for the punishment of his sins?

40 Let us search out and examine our ways,
And turn back to the Lord;
41 (D)Let us lift our hearts and hands
To God in heaven.
