[I Put My Hand in My Bosom]

I put my hand in my bosom.

When I took it out

behold, it was leprous as snow.

And the Father said:

Put thine hand in thy bosom again.

And behold it was turned again as my other flesh.

And I said: O my Father, Thou hast spoken unto

Thy servant!

But I am slow of speech and of a slow tongue

-they will not believe me.

And His anger was kindled against me.

And He said:

Who hath made thy mouth?
