⁵ `Lord Jehovah, cease, I pray Thee, How doth Jacob arise -- for he `is' small?'

⁴ Turn back `to' us, O God of our salvation, And make void Thine anger with us.

⁹ Unless Jehovah of Hosts had left to us a remnant, Shortly -- as Sodom we had been, To Gomorrah we had been like!

²⁵ For yet a very little, And the indignation hath been completed, And Mine anger by their wearing out.

¹⁹ And gone forth from them hath thanksgiving, And the voice of playful ones, And I have multiplied them and they are not few, And made them honourable, and they are not small.

² and it hath come to pass, when it hath finished to consume the herb of the land, that I say: `Lord Jehovah, forgive, I pray Thee, How doth Jacob arise -- for he `is' small?'

³ Jehovah hath repented of this, `It shall not be,' said Jehovah.
