Why do you make me see ·wrong things [evil; iniquity; injustice]
    and make me look at ·trouble [wrongdoing]?
·People are destroying things and hurting others [L Destruction and violence are] in front of me;
    ·they are arguing and fighting [L strife and conflict arise].

    that you won’t believe even when you are told about it.
