It can not be. But let God be true, though every man be a liar, as it is written: That thou mightest be justified in thy words, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

As it is written: For thy sake, we are killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thy altars, and I am left alone, and they seek: my life.

and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy, as it is written: For this cause I will give praise to thee among the Gentiles, and to thy name will I sing.
