¹² Who have said, `Let us occupy for ourselves The comely places of God.'

⁹ He who planteth the ear doth He not hear? He who formeth the eye doth He not see?

⁷ All finding them have devoured them, And their adversaries have said: We are not guilty, Because that they sinned against Jehovah, The habitation of righteousness, And the hope of their fathers -- Jehovah.

⁹ Desolations age-during I make thee, And thy cities do not return, And ye have known that I `am' Jehovah.
