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

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

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

And if I refrain ^H2308, what ^H4100 pain leaves ^H1980 me?

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

As stupid ^H2933 in your eyes ^H5869?

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

And they kept ^H1826 silent ^H1826 for my advice ^H6098.

“[fn]I am seething ^H7570 within ^H4578 and cannot ^H3808 rest ^H1826;

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

“I will not be ^H2790 silent ^H2790 about his limbs ^H905,

Or his mighty ^H1369 strength ^H1369, or his graceful ^H2433 frame ^H6187.

But they were ^H2790 silent ^H2790 and did not answer ^H6030 him so much as a word ^H1697; for the king’s ^H4428 command ^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, 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 profess ^H2142 the LORD ^H3068, take no ^H408 rest ^H1824 for yourselves;

Will You restrain ^H662 Yourself at these ^H428 things ^H428, LORD ^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 [fn]into their laps ^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 keep silent ^H2790,

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

The sound ^H6963 of the trumpet ^H7782,

The alarm ^H8643 of war ^H4421.

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

Sit ^H3427 on the ground ^H776 and [fn]are ^H1826 silent ^H1826.

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

They have put ^H2296 on ^H2296 sackcloth ^H8242.

The virgins ^H1330 of Jerusalem ^H3389

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

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

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

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

Give ^H5414 yourself no ^H408 relief ^H6314,

Let [fn]your eyes ^H5869 have ^H1826 no ^H408 rest ^H1826.

Let him sit ^H3427 alone ^H910 and keep ^H1826 quiet ^H1826,

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

Therefore ^H3651 at [fn]such ^H1931 a time ^H6256 the prudent ^H7919 person keeps ^H1826 quiet ^H1826, because ^H3588 it is an evil ^H7451 time ^H6256.
