Oh how great is the distress with almost no faith. So where is the hope, with the path to eternity so far to walk? Look, therein the whole knot lies. Oh, if we were only stripped of our misery. Baptised in the love of our Heavenly Father. Oh, if the door to heaven was only already open for us. But now the soul of the world has already been sold to Satan.
Oh, if we only obliged to walk the path of life. But we wanted to belong to the sin of the flesh, yes, we wanted to belong to death. Oh if we only sat on Job’s self-pitying ash-heap. Perhaps Wisdom would have been unraveled for us long ago. Of what benefit is the lie-love to the philanthropist? Look, soon the entire world is stripped of her hypocrisy.
Of what benefit is his microscope now really to the scientist? While the victory already belongs to the germ. Oh, of what benefit is the mighty fleet to the big powers? Listen, everything perishes under the echo of the first gunshot. Look, in the future the hungry will long for bread. But all answer they will get is only a burst of lead. Of what benefit is it to the refugee to walk over to freedom? On their arrival the open grave is already awaiting them.
Of what benefit are all the treasures of the world to the Jew? In the faraway past and in the future it will just once again belong to others. Just look at all the beautiful cities of glass and concrete and know that soon it will just be heaps of useless junk. So, how big is the distress and how small is the world’s hope? With all of this that only ends in the eternal abyss at the end of a rough path.
