1. Did we complain or did ingratitude overcome us,
Or did we disappoint him or make excuses for ourselves?

2. He is angry, seeking his approval, though he does not ask
About our discontent or satisfaction with him.

3. And we do not care if we see one who is ungenerous,
Who does not care if time does not favor us.

4. He narrowed the excuse in pleading - we would have
Been satisfied with our share, had that been enough.

5. Why should we worship the created when our poverty
And wealth are only from God?
