Sword, Famine, and Pestilence
2 “Judah mourns,
And aher gates languish;
They bmourn for the land,
And cthe cry of Jerusalem has gone up.
And aher gates languish;
They bmourn for the land,
And cthe cry of Jerusalem has gone up.
3 Their nobles have sent their lads for water;
They went to the cisterns and found no water.
They returned with their vessels empty;
They were aashamed and confounded
bAnd covered their heads.
They went to the cisterns and found no water.
They returned with their vessels empty;
They were aashamed and confounded
bAnd covered their heads.
4 Because the ground is parched,
For there was ano rain in the land,
The plowmen were ashamed;
They covered their heads.
For there was ano rain in the land,
The plowmen were ashamed;
They covered their heads.
6 And athe wild donkeys stood in the desolate heights;
They sniffed at the wind like jackals;
Their eyes failed because there was no grass.”
They sniffed at the wind like jackals;
Their eyes failed because there was no grass.”
7 O Lord, though our iniquities testify against us,
Do it afor Your name’s sake;
For our backslidings are many,
We have sinned against You.
Do it afor Your name’s sake;
For our backslidings are many,
We have sinned against You.
8 aO the Hope of Israel, his Savior in time of trouble,
Why should You be like a stranger in the land,
And like a traveler who turns aside to tarry for a night?
Why should You be like a stranger in the land,
And like a traveler who turns aside to tarry for a night?
9 Why should You be like a man astonished,
Like a mighty one awho cannot save?
Yet You, O Lord, bare in our midst,
And we are called by Your name;
Do not leave us!
Like a mighty one awho cannot save?
Yet You, O Lord, bare in our midst,
And we are called by Your name;
Do not leave us!
10 Thus says the Lord to this people:
a“Thus they have loved to wander;
They have not restrained their feet.
Therefore the Lord does not accept them;
bHe will remember their iniquity now,
And punish their sins.”
