Because you [Judah] have forgotten the God of your salvation
And have not remembered the Rock of your Stronghold—

And set the grounds with vine slips of a strange god,

And in the morning you bring your seed to blossom;
Yet [promising as it is] the harvest will be a heap [of ruins that passes away]
In the day of sickness and incurable pain.
Oh, the uproar of many peoples
Who roar like the roaring of the seas,
And the noise of nations
Who roar like the rumbling of mighty waters!
