O my people, what have I done to you? How have I offended you? Answer me! I led you out of Egypt, from slavery to freedom, but you led your Saviour to the cross. O my people, what have I done to you? How have I offended you? Answer me! Holy is God! Holy and strong! Holy immortal One, have mercy on us. For forty years I led you safely through the desert. I fed you with manna from heaven, and brought you to a land of plenty; but you led your Saviour to the cross. Holy is God! Holy and strong! Holy immortal One, have mercy on us. What more could I have done for you? I planted you as my fairest vine, but you yielded only bitterness: when I was thirsty you gave me vinegar to drink, and you pierced your Saviours side with a lance. Holy is God! Holy and strong! Holy immortal One, have mercy on us. I opened the sea before you, but you opened my side with a spear. I led you on your way in a pillar of cloud, but you led me to Pilates court. O my people, what have I done to you? How have I offended you? Answer me! I bore you up with manna in the desert, but you struck me down and scourged me. I gave you saving water from the rock, but you gave me gall and vinegar to drink. O my people, what have I done to you? How have I offended you? Answer me! I gave you a royal sceptre, but you gave me a crown of thorns. I raised you to the height of majesty, but you have raised me high on a cross. O my people, what have I done to you? How have I offended you? Answer me! The Reproaches
