Thematic Bible: The jews in exile


Thematic Bible



By the rivers of Babylon, there, we sat down, yea we wept - when we remembered Zion: Upon the willows - in the midst thereof, hanged we our lyres:

For, there, our captors asked of us words of song, and our plunderers - gladness, - Sing us of the songs of Zion! How shall we sing the song of Yahweh, on a foreign soil?

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, Let my right-hand forget: Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember thee! if I do not lift up Jerusalem above the head of mine own gladness.
