“Ye make great marvel and astonishment What time ye see the sluggard lifted up And the just man to drop. And ye complain on God and on my sway. O humankind, ye sin in your complaint: For He, that Lord who made the world to live. Lets me not take or give By mine own act, but as he wills I may. Yet is the mind of man so castaway, That it discerns not the supreme behest. Alas! ye wretchedest, And chide ye at God also? Shall not He Judge between good and evil righteously?
