55 "I have said all these things before you, Lord, because you have said that you created the oldest age for our sake.
56 You have said that the other nations born of Adam are nothing, that they are like spit, and you have compared their abundance to a drop from a pitcher.
57 But look now, Lord! These nations that are valued as nothing rule over us and devour us,
