⁷ Deep unto deep is calling At the noise of Thy water-spouts, All Thy breakers and Thy billows passed over me.

¹⁹ Wo to me for my breaking, Grievious hath been my smiting, And I said, Only, this `is' my sickness, and I bear it.

²⁰ My tent hath been spoiled, And all my cords have been broken, My sons have gone out from me, and they are not, There is none stretching out any more my tent, And raising up my curtains.

⁷ The Lord hath cast off His altar, He hath rejected His sanctuary, He hath shut up into the hand of the enemy The walls of her palaces, A noise they have made in the house of Jehovah Like a day of appointment.

⁹ Sunk into the earth have her gates, He hath destroyed and broken her bars, Her king and her princes `are' among the nations, There is no law, also her prophets Have not found vision from Jehovah.

⁴⁷ Fear and a snare hath been for us, Desolation and destruction.

²⁵ Destruction hath come, And they have sought peace, and there is none.

²⁶ Mischief on mischief cometh, and report is on report, And they have sought a vision from a prophet, And law doth perish from the priest, And counsel from the elders,

²¹ `For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Although My four sore judgments -- sword, and famine, and wild beast, and pestilence -- I have sent unto Jerusalem, to cut off from it man and beast,

¹⁵ And cry unto Jehovah, `Alas for the day! For near `is' a day of Jehovah, And as destruction from the mighty it cometh.

⁷ Under sorrow I have seen tents of Cushan, Tremble do curtains of the land of Midian.

⁹ who shall suffer justice -- destruction age-during -- from the face of the Lord, and from the glory of his strength,

⁶ Lift up an ensign Zionward, Strengthen yourselves, stand not still, For evil I am bringing in from the north, And a great destruction.

¹⁸ `And if unto these ye hearken not to Me, -- then I have added to chastise you seven times for your sins;

²¹ `And if ye walk with Me `in' opposition, and are not willing to hearken to Me, then I have added to you a plague seven times, according to your sins,

²⁴ then I have walked -- I also -- with you in opposition, and have smitten you, even I, seven times for your sins;

²⁸ then I have walked with you in the fury of opposition, and have chastised you, even I, seven times for your sins.

²¹ `Be ye separated from the midst of this company, and I consume them in a moment;'

⁴⁵ `Get you up from the midst of this company, and I consume them in a moment;' and they fall on their faces,

⁹ And come in to thee do these two things, In a moment, in one day, childlessness and widowhood, According to their perfection they have come upon thee, In the multitude of thy sorceries, In the exceeding might of thy charms.

⁵ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Say unto the sons of Israel, Ye `are' a stiff-necked people; one moment -- I come up into thy midst, and have consumed thee; and now, put down thine ornaments from off thee, and I know what I do to thee;'
