Put no more trust in man,
who has only the breath in his nostrils.
What is he really worth?

For a ten-acre vineyard will yield
only six gallons,
and 10 bushels of seed will yield
only one bushel.

You are to regard only the Lord of Hosts as holy.
Only He should be feared;
only He should be held in awe.

They will look toward the earth and see only distress, darkness, and the gloom of affliction, and they will be driven into thick darkness.

Israel, even if your people were as numerous
as the sand of the sea,
only a remnant of them will return.
Destruction has been decreed;
justice overflows.

Only gleanings will be left in Israel,
as if an olive tree had been beaten—
two or three berries at the very top of the tree,

every day and every night.

If only you had paid attention to My commands.
Then your peace would have been like a river,
and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.

Look to Abraham your father,
and to Sarah who gave birth to you in pain.
When I called him, he was only one;
I blessed him and made him many.

“Come, let me get some wine,
let’s guzzle some beer;
and tomorrow will be like today,
only far better!”

If only You would tear the heavens open
and come down,
so that mountains would quake at Your presence—

In her, a nursing infant will no longer live
only a few days,
or an old man not live out his days.
Indeed, the youth will die at a hundred years,
and the one who misses a hundred years will be cursed.
