00:22:30.950 --> 00:22:35.910
It<00:22:31.190><c> was</c><00:22:31.390><c> because</c><00:22:31.809><c> his</c><00:22:32.130><c> heart</c><00:22:32.470><c> was</c><00:22:32.809><c> broken</c><00:22:33.690><c> by</c><00:22:34.809><c> his</c><00:22:35.170><c> sinfulness</c>

00:22:35.910 --> 00:22:40.269
that<00:22:36.309><c> the</c><00:22:36.529><c> Lord</c><00:22:36.710><c> was</c><00:22:37.029><c> able</c><00:22:37.309><c> to</c><00:22:37.730><c> remake</c><00:22:38.170><c> it</c><00:22:38.450><c> and</c><00:22:38.690><c> reshape</c><00:22:39.369><c> it.</c>

00:22:40.269 --> 00:22:44.170
And<00:22:40.690><c> he</c><00:22:40.869><c> could</c><00:22:41.190><c> then</c><00:22:41.509><c> be</c><00:22:41.769><c> brought</c><00:22:42.009><c> back</c><00:22:42.349><c> again</c><00:22:42.829><c> a</c><00:22:43.130><c> chastened</c>

00:22:48.130 --> 00:22:51.789
So<00:22:48.349><c> we</c><00:22:48.650><c> have</c><00:22:48.930><c> this</c><00:22:49.230><c> personal</c><00:22:50.089><c> responsibility.</c>

00:22:52.069 --> 00:22:54.869

00:23:26.849 --> 00:23:30.970
