Flowed hath thy valley, O backsliding daughter, Who is trusting in her treasures: Who doth come in unto me? 5 Lo, I am bringing in upon thee a fear, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, From all round about thee, And ye have been driven out each before it, And there is no gatherer of the wandering.
