See, O Yahweh, and do consider, to whom thou hast acted thus severely, - Will women, devour, their own fruit - the children they have dandled? Shall priest and prophet, be slain in the sanctuary of My Lord?

Wilt thou proclaim, like the day of an appointed meeting - My terrors round about? when there was not - in the day of the anger of Yahweh - fugitive or survivor, - Those whom I dandled and reared, my foe hath destroyed.

Thou wilt, indeed remember, that, bowed down concerning myself, is my soul;

This, will I bring back to my heart, therefore, will I hope.

My portion, is Yahweh, saith my soul, For this cause, will I wait for him.

Good is Yahweh, to them who wait for him, to the soul that will seek him;

Surely My Lord, will not cast off, unto times age-abiding;

Surely, though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion, according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses;

Thou wilt render to them a recompense, O Yahweh, according to the work of their hands;

Thou wilt suffer them a veiling of heart, thy curse to them;

Thou wilt pursue in anger, and wilt destroy them, from under the heavens of Yahweh.

Even wild dogs, draw out the breast, give suck to their whelps - The daughter of my people, hath become cruel, like the ostriches in the desert.

Turn aside! Unclean! have they cried to them, Turn aside! Turn aside! Do not touch! because they have fled, yea, wandered, Men said among the nations, They will not again tarry;

The face of Yahweh, hath scattered them, He will look them out no more: The persons of the priests, they have not respected, To the elders, have they shown no favour.

Silly shall our eyes fail, for our help that is vain: In our watchtower, have we watched - for a nation that will not save.

Completed is thy punishment, O daughter of Zion, He will no more carry thee away captive - He hath punished thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom, he hath stripped the veil from off thy sins.

Bring us back, O Yahweh, unto thyself, and we will come back! Renew our days, as of old;
