Since your children sinned against Him,
He gave them over to their rebellion.

You gave me life and faithful love,
and Your care has guarded my life.

You gave no water to the thirsty
and withheld food from the famished,

Who put Him in charge of the entire world?

If He put His mind to it
and withdrew the spirit and breath He gave,

Whose womb did the ice come from?
Who gave birth to the frost of heaven

Who put wisdom in the heart
or gave the mind understanding?
