⁵ Then said I, O Lord Jehovah, cease, I beseech thee: how shall Jacob stand? for he is small.

⁴ Turn us, O God of our salvation, And cause thine indignation toward us to cease.

⁹ Except Jehovah of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

²⁵ For yet a very little while, and the indignation `against thee' shall be accomplished, and mine anger `shall be directed' to his destruction.

¹⁹ And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.

¹⁷ Let the priests, the ministers of Jehovah, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Jehovah, and give not thy heritage to reproach, that the nations should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the peoples, Where is their God?

² And it came to pass that, when they made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord Jehovah, forgive, I beseech thee: how shall Jacob stand? for he is small.

³ Jehovah repented concerning this: It shall not be, saith Jehovah.
