42
For of all the prophets thou only art left us, as a cluster of the vintage, and as a candle in a dark place, and as a haven or ship preserved from the tempest.
43
Are not the evils which are come to us sufficient?
44
If thou shalt forsake us, how much better had it been for us, if we also had been burned in the midst of Sion?
