17 | Abraham, Abraham, you are old and cannot hear: \ | ||
18 | what if you miss my small voice amongst the creaking \ | ||
19 | of your own grief, kill your son unknowing \ | ||
20 | of what he will be, and commit Israel to nothing? | ||
21 | |||
22 | Abraham, you must know or hope that [God][] \ | ||
23 | will not allow your son to die; you must know \ | ||
24 | that this is a test, but then why \ | ||
25 | are you so bent on Isaac's destruction? \ | ||
26 | Look at your eyes; there is more than fear \ | ||
27 | there. I see in your eyes desperation, \ | ||
28 | a manic passion to do right by your God \ | ||
29 | whom you are not able to see or know. | ||
30 | |||
31 | Am I too late? I [will try][] to stay \ | ||
32 | your old hands, the knife clenched \ | ||
33 | within them, intent on ending life. | ||
34 | |||
35 | Will you hear my small voice amongst the creaking, \ | ||
36 | or will it be the chance bleating of a passing ram? | ||
