The [fn]little ^H6996 [fn]foxes ^H7776 that are ruining ^H2254 the vineyards ^H3754,

While our vineyards ^H3754 are in blossom ^H5563.”

“Beneath ^H8478 the apple ^H8598 tree ^H8598 I awakened ^H5782 you;

There ^H8033 your mother ^H517 went ^H2254 into ^H2254 labor ^H2254 with you,

There ^H8033 she was ^H2254 in ^H2254 labor ^H2254 and gave ^H3205 birth ^H3205 to you.

They are coming ^H935 from a distant ^H4801 country ^H776,

From the [fn]farthest ^H7093 horizons ^H8064,

The LORD ^H3068 and the weapons ^H3627 of His indignation ^H2195,

To destroy ^H2254 the whole ^H3605 land ^H776.

As for a rogue ^H3596, his weapons ^H3627 are evil ^H7451;

He devises ^H3289 wicked ^H2154 schemes ^H2154

To destroy ^H2254 the poor ^H6041 with [fn]slander ^H561 H8267,

Even though the needy ^H34 one ^H34 speaks ^H1696 [fn]what ^H4941 is ^H4941 right ^H4941.

“Behold ^H2005, I Myself ^H595 have created ^H1254 the smith ^H2796 who blows ^H5301 on the fire ^H784 of coals ^H6352

And produces ^H3318 a weapon ^H3627 for its work ^H4639;

And I have created ^H1254 the destroyer ^H7843 to inflict ^H2254 ruin ^H2254.

“Arise ^H6965 and go ^H1980,

For this ^H2088 is no ^H3808 place ^H4496 of ^H4496 rest ^H4496

Because ^H5668 of the uncleanness ^H2932 that brings ^H2254 on destruction ^H2254,

A painful ^H4834 destruction ^H2256.
