I spread out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a
parched land.

who walk in ways not good, pursuing their own imaginations—invitation
An act of despair

bearing her first child— the cry of the Daughter of Zion gasping for breath, stretching

murderers.”

When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he
lifted up his hands and blessed them.
