'O God' in the Bible
“I will say to God, ‘Do not condemn me;Let me know why You contend with me.
“They say to God, ‘Depart from us!We do not even desire the knowledge of Your ways.
“Can a vigorous man be of use to God,Or a wise man be useful to himself?
“They said to God, ‘Depart from us!’And ‘What can the Almighty do to them?’
“For then you will delight in the AlmightyAnd lift up your face to God.
“Behold, I belong to God like you;I too have been formed out of the clay.
Then he will pray to God, and He will accept him,That he may see His face with joy,And He may restore His righteousness to man.
“For has anyone said to God,‘I have borne chastisement;I will not offend anymore;
“Who prepares for the raven its nourishmentWhen its young cry to GodAnd wander about without food?
