O God of hosts, return, we pray thee, - Look down out of the heavens, and see, And inspect this vine: Yea the stock which thy right hand planted, Even upon the son thou didst secure for thyself. To be burned with fire, it is cut down, - At the rebuke of thy countenance, they will perish. read more.
Let thy hand be, Upon the Man of thy right hand, Upon the Son of Man thou didst secure for thyself; So will we not draw back from thee, Thou wilt bring us to life, And, on thy Name, will we call. O Yahweh, God of hosts! bring us back, Light up thy face, That we may be saved.

In that day, shall the son of earth look to him that made him, - And his eyes unto the Holy One of Israel, be turned;

Then will they who erred in spirit comprehend, And the murmurers, accept instruction.

Return ye unto him against whom the sons of Israel have deeply revolted, For in that day, will every man reject his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, - Which your hands had made for you as a sin!

In those days, and at that time, Declareth Yahweh, Shall the sons of Israel come in, They and the sons of Judah together: Weeping as they travel, so shall they journey on, And Yahweh their God, shall they seek; To Zion, shall they ask the way, Hitherward, their faces, Come and let us join ourselves unto Yahweh, In a covenant age-abiding, which shall not be forgotten. Wandering sheep, have my people, been, Their own shepherds led them astray, On the mountains, they seduced them, From mountain to hill, have they gone, They have forgotten their couching-place.

Come, and let us return unto Yahweh! for, he, hath torn, that he might heal us, - smitten, that he might bind us up. He will bring us to life, after two days, - on the third day, will he raise us up, that we may live before him. Then let us know - let us press on to know - Yahweh, Like the dawn, is his coming forth assured, - that he may come like a down-pour upon us, like the harvest-rain, and the seed-rain of the land.

Is not, this one, the carpenter's, son? Is not, his mother, called Mary, and are not his brethren - James and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?

They answered and said unto him - In sins, wast, thou, born, altogether; and art, thou, teaching, us? And they cast him out.

Now Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men, - then was kindled the anger of Eliab against David, and he said - Wherefore is it that thou hast come down? and to whom hast thou entrusted those few sheep in the wilderness? I, know thy pride, and the foolishness of thy heart, for, to see the battle, hast thou come down.

Thou dost make us an object of contention to our neighbours, And, our foes, find mockery for themselves.

Roll from off me, reproach and contempt, For, thy testimonies, have I observed.

Thou hast fed them with the food of tears, And hast caused them to drink the water of weeping in threefold abundance. Thou dost make us an object of contention to our neighbours, And, our foes, find mockery for themselves.
