The Lord said, “I will bring them back from Bashan;
I will bring them back from the depths of the sea

I will listen to what God will say;
surely the Lord will declare peace
to His people, His godly ones,
and not let them go back to foolish ways.

You have also turned back his sharp sword
and have not let him stand in battle.

He will pay them back for their sins
and destroy them for their evil.
The Lord our God will destroy them.

The sun rises; they go back
and lie down in their dens.

The Lord has sworn an oath and will not take it back:
“Forever, You are a priest
like Melchizedek.”

The sea looked and fled;
the Jordan turned back.

Why was it, sea, that you fled?
Jordan, that you turned back?

I thought about my ways
and turned my steps back to Your decrees.

Though one goes along weeping,
carrying the bag of seed,
he will surely come back with shouts of joy,
carrying his sheaves.

Plowmen plowed over my back;
they made their furrows long.

Let all who hate Zion
be driven back in disgrace.

Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction,
happy is the one who pays you back
what you have done to us.
