“Then I said ^H559,

‘How ^H349 I would set ^H7896 you among [fn]My sons ^H1121

And give ^H5414 you a pleasant ^H2532 land ^H776,

The most ^H6643 beautiful ^H6643 inheritance ^H5159 of the nations ^H1471!’

And I said ^H559, ‘You shall call ^H7121 Me, “My Father ^H1,”

And not turn ^H7725 away ^H7725 from following ^H310 Me.’

“How ^H351 can you say ^H559, ‘We are wise ^H2450,

And the law ^H8451 of Yahweh ^H3068 is with us’?

But behold ^H2009, the lying ^H8267 pen ^H5842 of the scribes ^H5608

Has made ^H6213 it into a lie ^H8267.

Therefore ^H3651 thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635,

“Behold ^H2009, I will refine ^H6884 them and test ^H974 them;

For what ^H349 else can I do ^H6213, because ^H4480 H6440 of the daughter ^H1323 of My people ^H5971?

“For a voice ^H6963 of wailing ^H5092 is heard ^H8085 from Zion ^H6726,

‘How ^H349 we are destroyed ^H7703!

We are put ^H954 to ^H954 great ^H3966 shame ^H954,

For we have left ^H5800 the land ^H776

Because ^H3588 they have cast ^H7993 down ^H7993 our dwellings ^H4908.’”

“If ^H3588 you have run ^H7323 with footmen ^H7273 and they have tired ^H3811 you out ^H3811,

Then how ^H349 can you compete ^H2734 with horses ^H5483?

If you fall ^H982 down ^H982 in a land ^H776 of peace ^H7965,

How ^H349 will you do ^H6213 in the [fn]thicket ^H1347 of the Jordan ^H3383?

“How ^H349 can [fn]it be ^H8252 quiet ^H8252?

Yahweh ^H3068 has given ^H6680 it a ^H6680 command ^H6680;

Against ^H413 Ashkelon ^H831 and against ^H413 the seacoast ^H3220 H2348—

There ^H8033 He has assigned ^H3259 it.”

“How ^H349 can you say ^H559, ‘We are mighty ^H1368 warriors ^H1368,

And men ^H376 valiant ^H2428 for battle ^H4421’?

“Mourn ^H5110 for him, all ^H3605 you who live around ^H5439 him,

Even all ^H3605 of you who know ^H3045 his name ^H8034;

Say ^H559, ‘How ^H351 has the strong ^H5797 [fn]scepter ^H4294 been broken ^H7665,

A staff ^H4731 of beauty ^H8597!’

“How ^H349 [fn]the city ^H5892 of praise ^H8416 has not been forsaken ^H5800,

The town ^H7151 of My joy ^H4885!

“How ^H349 the hammer ^H6360 of the whole ^H3605 earth ^H776

Has been cut ^H1438 in ^H1438 pieces ^H1438 and broken ^H7665!

How ^H349 Babylon ^H894 has become ^H1961

An object ^H8047 of ^H8047 horror ^H8047 among the nations ^H1471!

“How ^H349 [fn]Sheshak ^H8347 has been captured ^H3920,

And the praise ^H8416 of the whole ^H3605 earth ^H776 been seized ^H8610!

How ^H349 Babylon ^H894 has become ^H1961 an object ^H8047 of ^H8047 horror ^H8047 among the nations ^H1471!

Aleph

How ^H351 lonely ^H910 sits ^H3427 the city ^H5892

That was great ^H7227 with people ^H5971!

She has become ^H1961 like a widow ^H490

Who ^H7227 was once great ^H7227 among the nations ^H1471!

She who was a princess ^H8282 among the [fn]provinces ^H4082

Has become ^H1961 a forced ^H4522 laborer ^H4522!

Aleph

How ^H351 the Lord ^H136 has covered ^H5743 the daughter ^H1323 of Zion ^H6726

With ^H5743 a ^H5743 cloud ^H5743 in His anger ^H639!

He has cast ^H7993 from heaven ^H8064 to earth ^H776

The beauty ^H8597 of Israel ^H3478,

And has not remembered ^H2142 the footstool ^H1916 H7272 of His feet ^H7272

In the day ^H3117 of His anger ^H639.

Aleph

How ^H351 dark ^H6004 the gold ^H2091 has become ^H6004,

How the pure ^H2896 gold ^H3800 has changed ^H8132!

The sacred ^H6944 stones ^H68 are poured ^H8210 out ^H8210

At the head ^H7218 of every ^H3605 street ^H2351.

‘How ^H349 you have perished ^H6, O inhabited ^H3427 one,

From the seas ^H3220, O city ^H5892 that was praised ^H1984,

Which ^H834 was strong ^H2389 on the sea ^H3220,

She and her inhabitants ^H3427,

Who ^H834 [fn]imposed ^H5414 [fn]her terror ^H2851

On all ^H3605 her inhabitants ^H3427!

“Now as for you, son ^H1121 of man ^H120, say ^H559 to the house ^H1004 of Israel ^H3478, ‘Thus ^H3651 you have spoken ^H559, saying ^H559, “Surely ^H3588 our transgressions ^H6588 and our sins ^H2403 are upon us, and we are rotting ^H4743 away ^H4743 in them; how ^H349 then can we live ^H2421?”’

How ^H349 can I give ^H5414 you up ^H5414, O Ephraim ^H669?

How can I surrender ^H4042 you, O Israel ^H3478?

How ^H349 can I give ^H5414 you over to be like Admah ^H126?

How can I make ^H7760 you like Zeboiim ^H6636?

My heart ^H3820 is turned ^H2015 over ^H2015 within ^H5921 Me;

[fn]All ^H3162 My compassions ^H5150 are stirred ^H3648.

“If ^H518 thieves ^H1590 came ^H935 to you,

If ^H518 [fn]robbers ^H7703 by night ^H3915—

Oh how ^H349 you will be ruined ^H1820!—

Would they not thieve ^H1589 only [fn]until they had enough ^H1767?

If ^H518 grape gatherers ^H1219 came ^H935 to you,

Would they not allow some gleanings ^H5955 to remain ^H7604?

“On that day ^H3117 they will take ^H5375 up ^H5375 against ^H5921 you a [fn]taunt ^H4912

And [fn]utter ^H5091 a bitter ^H5093 wailing ^H5092 and say ^H559,

‘We are completely ^H7703 devastated ^H7703!

He exchanges ^H4171 the portion ^H2506 of my people ^H5971;

How ^H349 He removes ^H4185 it from me!

To the faithless ^H7728 one, He apportions ^H2505 our fields ^H7704.’

This ^H2088 is the exultant ^H5947 city ^H5892

Which inhabits ^H3427 securely ^H983,

Who says ^H559 in her heart ^H3824,

“I am, and there ^H657 is ^H657 no ^H657 one ^H657 besides ^H5750 me.”

How ^H349 she has become ^H1961 an object ^H8047 of horror ^H8047,

A resting ^H4769 place ^H4769 for beasts ^H2416!

Everyone ^H3605 who passes ^H5674 by her will hiss ^H8319

And wave ^H5128 his hand ^H3027 in contempt.
