If you push a generous man too far, he lashes out
If you embarrass one of character,
At you with some of a base man's traits.
He may respond with the ways of the unworthy.

And God indeed possesses forbearance, and yet
Yet God is patient, though
In proportion to his forbearance, the forbearing one exacts redress.
Patience has its limits for the patient.
