They are* instead of they is. And also blue* instead of blew.
The correct answer is 4: The speaker implores God to use violence to break him so that he can be made new.
In this Holy Poem 14, “Batter my Heart”, by John Donne, the poet is addressing God directly and he is implying that the usual way God enters into everybody’s life is not enough for the poet. The poet does not need gentle manners: to knock, to shine, to mend.
On the other hand, in order to let God get into his life, he needs a tough hand: to force, to brake, to blow and burn. This is likely because the poet might consider his soul and heart are too corrupt for such gentle ways.
The paradox, or apparently contradictory idea, here is to attach God such a violent behavior.
This excerpt proves that Odysseus’s men caused their own problems:

<h3>What is the problem here?</h3>
In this passage, we are told about how Odysseus' men kept on feasting and drinking while the fugitives took valiant steps to escape from their hold. Their weakness, in this case, is their love for food and entertainment which the fugitives took advantage of.
This is quite normal in war situations. The enemy takes advantage of the weakness of the opposing side. So, the men in the camp of Odysseus feasted and drank a lot of wine which made them lose their vigilance. Thus, their camp was overtaken.
