⁴ Far are his sons from safety, And they are bruised in the gate, And there is no deliverer.

⁸ O daughter of Babylon, O destroyed one, O the happiness of him who repayeth to thee thy deed, That thou hast done to us.

⁹ O the happiness of him who doth seize, And hath dashed thy sucklings on the rock!

¹⁷ Therefore, over its young men the Lord rejoiceth not, And its orphans, and its widows He pitieth not, For every one `is' profane, and an evil doer, And every mouth is speaking folly. With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched out.

¹⁸ And bows dash young men to pieces, And the fruit of the womb they pity not, On sons their eye hath no pity.

¹¹ In the withering of its branch it is broken off, Women are coming in setting it on fire, For it `is' not a people of understanding, Therefore pity it not doth its Maker, And its Former doth not favour it.

²⁵ and all the people answering said, `His blood `is' upon us, and upon our children!'

⁵⁰ that the blood of all the prophets, that is being poured forth from the foundation of the world, may be required from this generation;

⁵¹ from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the house; yes, I say to you, It shall be required from this generation.

¹³ for the judgment without kindness `is' to him not having done kindness, and exult doth kindness over judgment.
