In the

Jacob's well was there. It was about the sixth hour when Jesus arrived. Being weary from the journey he sat down by the well.

This means that he had to become like his brothers in every way, in order to be their faithful and merciful High Priest in his service to God, in order to offer a propitiatory sacrifice (pay atonement) (to make reconciliation) for the sins of the people.

We do not have a high priest who is not able to sympathize with our infirmities (weaknesses). He was tested in all things like ourselves. Yet he was without sin!

And they

In the middle of the day, Elijah made sport of them, saying: Give louder cries, for he is a god; he may be deep in thought. He may have gone away for some purpose. Perhaps he is on a journey. By chance he is sleeping and must be woke up.

But if you will look to God and plead with the Almighty,

Wake up! Why are you sleeping, O Jehovah? Awake! Do not reject us forever!

Awake, awake! Clothe yourself with strength, O arm of Jehovah. Awake, as in days gone by, as in generations of old. Was it not you who cut Rahab to pieces, who pierced that monster through?

And they came to him, woke him, and cried: Save us, Lord, or we will perish.

They awoke him saying: Master, Master, we parish! He rebuked the wind and the raging of the water and there was calm.

Carest

Why are you so distant, Jehovah? Why do you hide in times of trouble?

([Psalm of David]) My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far away from my deliverance, so far away from the words of my moaning?

Will Jehovah reject us forever? Will he be favorable no more?

Why do you say, O Jacob, and complain, O Israel: 'My way is hidden from Jehovah! My God disregards my cause?'

Zion replied: Jehovah has forsaken me and Jehovah has forgotten me!

Jehovah will call you back as if you were a wife deserted and distressed in spirit; a wife, who married young, only to be rejected, says your God.

Look down and see from heaven, from your holy and beautiful dwelling. Where is your determination (zeal) and might? Where is the longing of your heart and your compassion? Do not hold back.

Despite these things, Jehovah, will you restrain yourself? Will you be silent and make us suffer beyond measure?

Even when I send up a cry for help, he shuts out my prayer.

Throw all your anxiety upon him, because he cares for you.
