Is judgment

The crown has fallen from our head;

Woe to us, for we have sinned!

Your eyes are too pure to approve evil,
And You can not look on wickedness with favor.
Why do You look with favor
On those who deal treacherously?
Why are You silent when the wicked swallow up
Those more righteous than they?

We wait

And it will growl over it in that day like the roaring of the sea.
If one looks to the land, behold, there is darkness and distress;
Even the light is darkened by its clouds.

“When I expected good, then evil came;
When I waited for light, then darkness came.

We waited for peace, but no good came;
For a time of healing, but behold, terror!

Have You completely rejected Judah?
Or have You loathed Zion?
Why have You stricken us so that we are beyond healing?
We waited for peace, but nothing good came;
And for a time of healing, but behold, terror!

Alas, you who are longing for the day of the Lord,
For what purpose will the day of the Lord be to you?
It will be darkness and not light;

For the inhabitant of Maroth
Becomes weak waiting for good,
Because a calamity has come down from the Lord
To the gate of Jerusalem.

While they are saying, “Peace and safety!” then

destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.

The way of the wicked is like darkness;
They do not know over what they

stumble.
