Yea, even the very God of Israel
do men trample under their feet;
I say, trample under their feet
but I would speak in other words—
they set him at naught, and
hearken not to the voice of his counsels.
And behold he cometh,
according to the words of the angel,
in six hundred years from
the time my father left Jerusalem.
And the world, because of their iniquity,
shall judge him to be a thing of naught;
wherefore they scourge him, and he suffereth it;
and they smite him, and he suffereth it.
Yea, they spit upon him, and he suffereth it,
because of his loving kindness and
his long-suffering towards the children of men.
