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