3:19 “I thought to myself, 1
‘Oh what a joy it would be for me to treat you like a son! 2
What a joy it would be for me to give 3 you a pleasant land,
the most beautiful piece of property there is in all the world!’ 4
I thought you would call me, ‘Father’ 5
and would never cease being loyal to me. 6
32:6 Is this how you repay 7 the Lord,
you foolish, unwise people?
Is he not your father, your creator?
He has made you and established you.
89:27 I will appoint him to be my firstborn son, 8
the most exalted of the earth’s kings.
63:16 For you are our father,
though Abraham does not know us
and Israel does not recognize us.
You, Lord, are our father;
you have been called our protector from ancient times. 9
