Contra Sanctum Israel!	23 Whom hast thou reproached, and whom hast thou blasphemed, and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thy eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel.
24 In manu servorum tuorum exprobrasti Domino et dixisti: “In multitudine quadrigarum mearum ego ascendi altitudinem montium, iuga Libani; et succidi excelsa cedrorum eius et electas abietes illius et introivi altitudinem summitatis eius, silvam condensam.	24 By the hand of thy servants thou hast reproached the Lord: and hast said: With the multitude of my chariots I have gone up to the height of the mountains, to the top of Libanus: and I will out down its tall cedars, and its choice fir trees, end will enter to the top of its height, to the forest of its Carmel.
