Then Moses ^H4872 and the Levitical ^H3881 priests ^H3548 spoke ^H1696 to all ^H3605 Israel ^H3478, saying ^H559, “Be silent ^H5535 and listen ^H8085, O Israel ^H3478! This ^H2088 day ^H3117 you have become ^H1961 a people ^H5971 for Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430.

Then they said ^H559 to one ^H376 another ^H7453, “We are not doing ^H6213 right ^H3651. This ^H2088 day ^H3117 is a day ^H3117 of good ^H1309 news ^H1309, but we are keeping ^H2814 silent ^H2814; if we wait ^H2442 until ^H5704 morning ^H1242 light ^H216, punishment ^H5771 will [fn]overtake ^H4672 us. So now ^H6258, come ^H1980, let us go ^H935 and tell ^H5046 the king’s ^H4428 household ^H1004.”

“If ^H518 I speak ^H1696, my pain ^H3511 is not lessened ^H2820,

And if I cease ^H2308, what ^H4100 will go ^H1980 forth ^H1980 from me?

“Why ^H4069 are we regarded ^H2803 as beasts ^H929,

As dense ^H2933 in your eyes ^H5869?

“To me they listened ^H8085 and waited ^H3176,

And kept ^H1826 silent ^H1826 for my counsel ^H6098.

“[fn]I am boiling ^H7570 within ^H4578 and cannot ^H3808 be silent ^H1826;

Days ^H3117 of affliction ^H6040 confront ^H6923 me.

“I will not keep ^H2790 silence ^H2790 concerning its limbs ^H905,

Or its mighty ^H1369 strength ^H1369 or its graceful ^H2433 frame ^H6187.

But they were ^H2790 silent ^H2790 and answered ^H6030 him not a word ^H1697, for the king’s ^H4428 commandment ^H4687 was, “Do not answer ^H6030 him.”

“I have kept ^H2814 silent ^H2814 for a long ^H5769 time ^H5769;

I have kept ^H2814 still ^H2790 and restrained ^H662 Myself.

Now like a woman in ^H3205 labor ^H3205 I will groan ^H6463;

I will both ^H3162 gasp ^H5395 and pant ^H7602.

For Zion’s ^H6726 sake ^H4616 I will not keep ^H2814 silent ^H2814,

And for Jerusalem’s ^H3389 sake ^H4616 I will not keep ^H8252 quiet ^H8252,

Until ^H5704 her righteousness ^H6664 goes ^H3318 forth ^H3318 like brightness ^H5051,

And her salvation ^H3444 like a torch ^H3940 that is burning ^H1197.

On your walls ^H2346, O Jerusalem ^H3389, I have appointed ^H6485 watchmen ^H8104;

All ^H3605 day ^H3117 and all ^H3605 night ^H3915 they will never ^H3808 keep ^H2814 silent ^H2814.

You who remind ^H2142 Yahweh ^H3068, take no ^H408 rest ^H1824 for yourselves;

Will You restrain ^H662 Yourself at these ^H428 things ^H428, O Yahweh ^H3068?

Will You keep ^H2814 silent ^H2814 and afflict ^H6031 us beyond ^H5704 measure ^H3966?

“Behold ^H2009, it is written ^H3789 before ^H6440 Me:

I will not keep ^H2814 silent ^H2814, but I will repay ^H7999;

I will even repay ^H7999 into their bosom ^H2436,

My [fn]soul ^H4578, my [fn]soul ^H4578! I am ^H2342 in ^H2342 anguish ^H2342! [fn]Oh ^H7023, my heart ^H3820!

My heart ^H3820 is pounding ^H1993 in me;

I cannot ^H3808 be silent ^H2790

Because ^H3588 [fn]you have heard ^H8085, O my soul ^H5315,

The sound ^H6963 of the trumpet ^H7782,

The shout ^H8643 of war ^H4421.

Yodh

The elders ^H2205 of the daughter ^H1323 of Zion ^H6726

Sit ^H3427 on the ground ^H776; they are ^H1826 silent ^H1826.

They have thrown ^H5927 dust ^H6083 up ^H5927 on their heads ^H7218;

They have girded ^H2296 themselves with sackcloth ^H8242.

The virgins ^H1330 of Jerusalem ^H3389

Have bowed ^H3381 their heads ^H7218 down to the ground ^H776.

Tsadhe

Their heart ^H3820 cried ^H6817 out ^H6817 to the Lord ^H136,

“O wall ^H2346 of the daughter ^H1323 of Zion ^H6726,

Let your tears ^H1832 run ^H3381 down ^H3381 like a river ^H5158 day ^H3119 and night ^H3915;

Give ^H5414 yourself no ^H408 relief ^H6314;

Let [fn]your eyes ^H5869 not ^H408 be ^H1826 still ^H1826.

Yodh

Let him sit ^H3427 alone ^H910 and be ^H1826 silent ^H1826

Since ^H3588 He has laid ^H5190 it on him.

Therefore ^H3651 at [fn]such ^H1931 a time ^H6256 the one with insight ^H7919 keeps ^H1826 silent ^H1826, for it is an evil ^H7451 time ^H6256.
