directed examination
Let us carefully examine our ways, and let us return to the Lord.
Let us lift up our hearts and our hands to God in heaven:
“We have blatantly rebelled; you have not forgiven.”
You shrouded yourself with anger and then pursued us;
you killed without mercy.
You shrouded yourself with a cloud so that no prayer can get through.
You make us like filthy scum in the estimation of the nations.
Tears flow from my eyes and will not stop; there will be no break
until the Lord looks down from heaven and sees what has happened.
Lamentations 3:40-45, 49-50 (NET)
