Woe{H480} is me! for I am as when they have gathered{H625} the summer fruits,{H7019} as the grape gleanings{H5955} of the vintage:{H1210} there is no cluster{H811} to eat;{H398} my soul{H5315} desireth{H183} the first-ripe fig.{H1063}

The godly{H2623} man is perished{H6} out of the earth,{H776} and there is none upright{H3477} among men:{H120} they all lie in wait{H693} for blood;{H1818} they hunt{H6679} every man{H376} his brother{H251} with a net.{H2764}

Their hands{H3709} are upon that which is evil{H7451} to do it diligently;{H3190} the prince{H8269} asketh,{H7592} and the judge{H8199} [is ready] for a reward;{H7966} and the great{H1419} man, he uttereth{H1696} the evil{H1942} desire{H5315} of his soul: thus they weave{H5686} it together.

The best{H2896} of them is as a brier;{H2312} the most upright{H3477} is [worse] than a thorn hedge:{H4534} the day{H3117} of thy watchmen,{H6822} even thy visitation,{H6486} is come;{H935} now shall be their perplexity.{H3998}

Trust{H539} ye not in a neighbor;{H7453} put ye not confidence{H982} in a friend;{H441} keep{H8104} the doors{H6607} of thy mouth{H6310} from her that lieth{H7901} in thy bosom.{H2436}

For the son{H1121} dishonoreth{H5034} the father,{H1} the daughter{H1323} riseth up{H6965} against her mother,{H517} the daughter-in-law{H2545} against her mother-in-law;{H3618} a man's{H376} enemies{H341} are the men{H582} of his own house.{H1004}

But as for me, I will look{H6822} unto Jehovah;{H3068} I will wait{H3176} for the God{H430} of my salvation:{H3468} my God{H430} will hear{H8085} me.

Rejoice{H8055} not against me, O mine enemy:{H341} when I fall,{H5307} I shall arise;{H6965} when I sit{H3427} in darkness,{H2822} Jehovah{H3068} will be a light{H216} unto me.

I will bear{H5375} the indignation{H2197} of Jehovah,{H3068} because I have sinned{H2398} against him, until he plead{H7378} my cause,{H7379} and execute{H6213} judgment{H4941} for me: he will bring me forth{H3318} to the light,{H216} [and] I shall behold{H7200} his righteousness.{H6666}

Then mine enemy{H341} shall see{H7200} it, and shame{H955} shall cover{H3680} her who said{H559} unto me, Where is Jehovah{H3068} thy God?{H430} Mine eyes{H5869} shall see{H7200} [my desire] upon her; now shall she be trodden down{H4823} as the mire{H2916} of the streets.{H2351}

A day{H3117} for building{H1129} thy walls!{H1447} in that day{H3117} shall the decree{H2706} be far removed.{H7368}

In that day{H3117} shall they come{H935} unto thee from Assyria{H804} and the cities{H5892} of Egypt,{H4693} and from Egypt{H4693} even to the River,{H5104} and from sea{H3220} to sea,{H3220} and [from] mountain{H2022} to mountain.{H2022}

Yet shall the land{H776} be desolate{H8077} because of them that dwell{H3427} therein, for the fruit{H6529} of their doings.{H4611}

Feed{H7462} thy people{H5971} with thy rod,{H7626} the flock{H6629} of thy heritage,{H5159} which dwell{H7931} solitarily,{H910} in the forest{H3293} in the midst{H8432} of Carmel:{H3760} let them feed{H7462} in Bashan{H1316} and Gilead,{H1568} as in the days{H3117} of old.{H5769}

As in the days{H3117} of thy coming{H3318} forth out of the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714} will I show{H7200} unto them marvellous{H6381} things.

The nations{H1471} shall see{H7200} and be ashamed{H954} of all their might;{H1369} they shall lay{H7760} their hand{H3027} upon their mouth;{H6310} their ears{H241} shall be deaf.{H2790}

They shall lick{H3897} the dust{H6083} like a serpent;{H5175} like crawling things{H2119} of the earth{H776} they shall come trembling{H7264} out of their close places;{H4526} they shall come with fear{H3372} unto Jehovah{H3068} our God,{H430} and shall be afraid{H3372} because of thee.

Who is a God{H410} like unto thee, that pardoneth{H5375} iniquity,{H5771} and passeth over{H5674} the transgression{H6588} of the remnant{H7611} of his heritage?{H5159} he retaineth{H2388} not his anger{H639} for ever,{H5703} because he delighteth{H2654} in lovingkindness.{H2617}

He will again{H7725} have compassion{H7355} upon us; he will tread{H3533} our iniquities{H5771} under foot; and thou wilt cast{H7993} all their sins{H2403} into the depths{H4688} of the sea.{H3220}

Thou wilt perform{H5414} the truth{H571} to Jacob,{H3290} [and] the lovingkindness{H2617} to Abraham,{H85} which thou hast sworn{H7650} unto our fathers{H1} from the days{H3117} of old.{H6924}
