Warum? Warum ist das Licht gegeben dem Mühseligen, und das Leben den betrübten Herzen? Warum? Die des Todes warten und kommt nicht, und grüben ihn wohl aus dem Verborgenen; die sich fast freuen und sind fröhlich, daß sie das Grab bekommen. Warum? Und dem Manne, deß Weg verborgen ist, und Gott vor ihm den selben bedecket. Warum?
