Thematic Bible: The jews in exile


Thematic Bible



By the rivers of Babel, there we sat down: also we wept in our remembering Zion. Upon the willows in her midst, we hung our harps;

For there they carrying us away captive asked us the words of a song; and they heaping us up gladness; Sing to us from the song of Zion. How shall we sing the song of Jehovah upon the land of a stranger?

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, my right hand shall be forgotten. My tongue shall cleave to in palate, if I remember thee not; if I bring not up Jerusalem upon the head of my joy.
