So the LORD his God delivered Ahaz into the hand of the king of Aram, who attacked him and took many captives to Damascus.

That God is unjust to inflict His wrath on us? I am speaking in human terms. . . .

We will rejoice and delight in you; we will praise your love more than wine. It is only right that they adore you. I am dark, yet lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon. . . .

Then I told them, “If it seems right to you, give me my wages; but if not, keep them.” So they weighed out my wages, thirty pieces of silver.
