Days 41-44

Day 41

The fox is saying, "Woe to him that builds his house with unfairness, and his rooms with injustice; who makes his neighbor work without wages, and does not give what he owes." (Jeremiah 22:13)

Day 42

The dogs are saying, "Come let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before God our maker." (Psalm 95:6)

Rabbi Yeshayah said, “Dogs, about whom it is written, ‘the dogs are brazen of spirit, never satisfied’ (Isaiah 56:11) – shall they merit uttering a song?” An angel answered him from heaven and said to him, “Yeshayah, how long will you fast over this? It is written that ‘no dog sharpened its tongue against any of the children of Israel’ (Exodus 11:7). For this reason, they merited a song.

Day 43

The lover is saying, 
My dove in the clefts of the rock,
in the shadow of the cliff,
let me see you, all of you!
Let me hear your voice,
your delicious song.  (Song of Songs, 2:14) .

Day 44

The warrior is saying, “Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for combat and my fingers for battle.” (Ps. 144:1)
