\q
|
|
\v 1 Woe is me!
|
|
\q I have become like the gathering of summer fruit,
|
|
\q and like the grapes that have been gleaned;
|
|
\q there is no grape cluster to eat,
|
|
\q no ripe early fig that my soul desires.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 Faithful people have disappeared from the land;
|
|
\q there is no upright person in all mankind.
|
|
\q They all lie in wait to shed blood;
|
|
\q each one hunts his own brother with a net.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 Their hands are very good at doing harm:
|
|
\q the ruler asks for money,
|
|
\q the judge is ready for bribes,
|
|
\q and the powerful man is saying to others what he wants to obtain.
|
|
\q Thus they plot together.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 The best of them is like briers,
|
|
\q the most upright is a hedge of thorns.
|
|
\q It is the day foretold by your watchmen,
|
|
\q the day of your punishment.
|
|
\q Now is the time of their confusion.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 5 Do not trust any neighbor;
|
|
\q put no confidence in any friend.
|
|
\q Be careful about what you say
|
|
\q even to the woman who lies in your arms.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 For a son dishonors his father,
|
|
\q a daughter rises up against her mother,
|
|
\q and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
|
|
\q A man's enemies are the people of his own house.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 But as for me, I will look to Yahweh.
|
|
\q I will wait for the God of my salvation;
|
|
\q my God will hear me.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 Do not rejoice over me, my enemy.
|
|
\q After I fall,
|
|
\q I will rise.
|
|
\q When I sit in darkness,
|
|
\q Yahweh will be a light for me.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 Because I sinned against Yahweh,
|
|
\q I will bear his rage
|
|
\q until he pleads my cause,
|
|
\q and executes judgment for me.
|
|
\q He will bring me to the light,
|
|
\q and I will see him rescue me in his justice.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 Then my enemy will see it,
|
|
\q and shame will cover the one who said to me,
|
|
\q "Where is Yahweh your God?"
|
|
\q My eyes will look at her;
|
|
\q she will be trampled down like the mud in the streets.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 A day to build your walls will come;
|
|
\q on that day the boundaries will be extended very far.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 On that day your people will come to you,
|
|
\q from Assyria and the cities in Egypt,
|
|
\q from Egypt to the River,
|
|
\q from sea to sea,
|
|
\q and from mountain to mountain.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 13 But the land will be desolate
|
|
\q because of the people who are living there,
|
|
\q because of the fruit of their actions.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 14 Shepherd your people with your rod,
|
|
\q the flock of your inheritance.
|
|
\q They live alone in a thicket,
|
|
\q in the midst of a pastureland.
|
|
\q Let them graze in Bashan and Gilead
|
|
\q as in the old days.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 15 As in the days when you came out of the land of Egypt,
|
|
\q I will show them wonders.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 16 The nations will see and be ashamed
|
|
\q of all their power.
|
|
\q They will put their hands on their mouths;
|
|
\q their ears will be deaf.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 17 They will lick the dust like a snake,
|
|
\q like creatures that crawl on the earth.
|
|
\q They will come out of their dens with fear;
|
|
\q they will come with fear to you, Yahweh our God,
|
|
\q and they will be afraid because of you.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 18 Who is a God like you—
|
|
\q who takes away sin,
|
|
\q who passes over the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance?
|
|
\q He does not keep his anger forever,
|
|
\q because he delights in his covenant faithfulness.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 19 You will again have compassion on us;
|
|
\q you will trample our iniquities under your feet.
|
|
\q You will throw all our sins into the depths of the sea.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 20 You will give truth to Jacob
|
|
\q and covenant faithfulness to Abraham,
|
|
\q as you swore to our ancestors in ancient days.
