A Lament And Call To Repentance

7 Ye who turn judgment to wormwood and leave off doing righteousness in the earth, 8 He who made the Pleiades and Orion
And changes deep darkness into morning,
Who also darkens day into night,
Who calls for the waters of the sea
And pours them out on the surface of the earth,
The Lord is His name.
9 that strengthens the spoiler against the strong, so that the spoiler shall come against the fortress.
