O thou who art said to be the house of Jacob, Is the spirit of Yahweh, impatient? Or are, these, his doings? Are not, his words, pleasant to him who is upright in his walk?

Then, shall they make outcry unto Yahweh, but he will not answer them, - that he may hide his face from them, at that time, even as they have made wicked their doings.

Though the land become a desolation, because of them that dwell therein, - by reason of the fruit of their doings.

Ye haters of right, and lovers of wrong, - tearing away their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;
