Abraham stepped forward and said, “Will You really sweep away the righteous with the wicked?

But Moses and Aaron fell facedown and said, “God, God of the spirits of all flesh, when one man sins, will You vent Your wrath on the whole community?”

Could one who hates justice govern the world?
Will you condemn the mighty Righteous One,

I have made the Lord God my refuge,
so I can tell about all You do.

Elijah was a man with a nature like ours; yet he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the land.
