what is the voice of the lord? how did it cry? What was it crying about? how

What name? whos name? the man of wisdom's own name? the loards name? the name
of the person being addressed? where is winsdom? and why did the man come
from there? is this a wise man who is reading someones name?
>hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.

person with the rod? how is this not condoning violence as an appropriate
means of controling others?
