Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

): I was a derision to all my people, to all the wicked among them, who made themselves an one another merry with the public judgments, and particularly the prophet Jeremiah's griefs. I am their song, their neginath, or hand-instrument of music, their tabret ( Job xvii. 6 ), that they play upon, as Nero on his harp when Rome was on fire.
