David was concerned
you might forget to keep your promise,
but he couched his
concern in praises.
Peter was concerned
over what Jesus said would happen,
but Jesus rebuked him
for it.
Gallio paid no
attention to who was being beaten;
it was none of his
concern.
The poor are
despoiled; the needy groan;
is that no concern of
ours?
