Commentary on the movements
- Aria (Bass): Was soll ich aus dir machen, Ephraim. The continuous stream of text brings this closer in style to arioso than aria.
- Recitativo (Alto): Ja, freilich sollte Gott. Secco recitative.
- Aria (Alto): Ein unbarmherziges Gerichte. A continuo aria amidst secco recitatives. The aria is in da capo form.
- Recitativo (Soprano): Wohlan! mein Herze legt Zorn, Zank und Swietracht hin. Secco recitative.
- Aria (Soprano): Gerechter Gott, ach, rechnest du? Aria with obbligato oboe; "the song-like simplicity of this relaxed, almost dance-like movement forms an effective contrast with the elaborate expressiveness of the first aria"1.
- Choral: Mir mangelt zwar sehr viel. A plain chorale setting.
