at<00:21:10.460><c> this</c><00:21:10.680><c> very</c><00:21:11.039><c> early</c><00:21:11.359><c> age</c><00:21:11.619><c> he</c><00:21:11.880><c> shows</c><00:21:12.319><c> this</c>

00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:18.339
this<00:21:13.960><c> zeal</c><00:21:14.420><c> for</c><00:21:14.720><c> Yahweh.</c><00:21:15.519><c> Now</c><00:21:15.599><c> let's</c><00:21:16.259><c> turn</c><00:21:16.599><c> over</c><00:21:16.940><c> to</c><00:21:17.160><c> Lamentations</c><00:21:17.900><c> chapter</c>
