“Now then, be good enough to look at me; and I will not lie to your face!

Concerning my right, should I lie? My wound is incurable, although I am without transgression.’

Once and for all I have vowed by my own holiness, I will never deceive David.

Why must I continually suffer such painful anguish? Why must I endure the sting of their insults like an incurable wound? Will you let me down when I need you like a brook one goes to for water, but that cannot be relied on?”
