Key Passages
From there Abram moved on to the hill country east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel to the west and Ai to the east. There he built an altar to the LORD, and he called on the name of the LORD.
He moved on from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. He named it Rehoboth and said, “At last the LORD has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”
But as a mountain erodes and crumblesand a rock is dislodged from its place,
You who tear yourself in anger—should the earth be forsaken on your account,or the rocks be moved from their place?
Why do the wicked live on,growing old and increasing in power?
