The shepherds would roll the stone from the opening of the well and water the sheep when all the flocks[fn] were gathered there. Then they would return the stone to its place over the well’s opening.

But they replied, “We can’t until all the flocks have been gathered and the stone is rolled from the well’s opening. Then we will water the sheep.”

They advance as through a gaping breach;

they keep rolling in through the ruins.

“He relies on[fn] the LORD;

let him save him;

let the LORD[fn] rescue him,

since he takes pleasure in him.”

Commit your way to the LORD;

trust in him, and he will act,

Take insult and contempt away from me,

for I have kept your decrees.

Commit your activities to the LORD,

and your plans will be established.

The one who digs a pit will fall into it,

and whoever rolls a stone —

it will come back on him.

For every trampling boot of battle

and the bloodied garments of war

will be burned as fuel for the fire.

All[fn] the stars in the sky will dissolve.

The sky will roll up like a scroll,

and its stars will all wither

as leaves wither on the vine,

and foliage on the fig tree.

Look, I am against you, devastating mountain.

This is the LORD’s declaration.

You devastate the whole earth.

I will stretch out my hand against you,

roll you down from the cliffs,

and turn you into a charred mountain.

But let justice flow like water,

and righteousness, like an unfailing stream.
