1: Woe isH0480 forH3588 I amH1961 like the gatheringH0625 summer fruits,H7019 Like those who gleanH5955 vintage [grapes]-H1210 [There [is no]H0369 clusterH0811 to eat,H0398 of the first-ripe fruitH1063 [which] desiresH0183 my soul.H5315

2: Has perishedH0006 the godly [man]H2623 fromH4480 the earth,H0776 and uprightH3477 among men.H0120 [there is] no oneH0369 they allH3605 for blood-H1818 lie in waitH0693 every manH0376 -H0853 his brotherH0251 huntsH6679 with a net.H2764

3: UponH5921 evilH7451 with both handsH3709 that they may successfully do,H3190 the princeH8269 asks [for gifts],H7592 and the judge [seeks]H8199 a bribe-H7966 and the great [man]H1419 uttersH1696 evilH1942 his desire-H5315 heH1931 so they scheme together.H5686

4: The best of them [is]H2896 like a brier,H2312 the most upright [is sharper]H3477 than a thorn hedge-H4534 the dayH3117 of your watchmanH6822 and your punishmentH6486 comes-H0935 nowH6258 shall beH1961 their perplexity.H3998

5: NotH0408 do trustH0539 in a friend,H7453 notH0408 do put your confidenceH0982 in a companion-H0441 from her who liesH7901 in your bosom.H2436 GuardH8104 the doorsH6607 of your mouth.H6310

7: Therefore IH0589 to Yahweh-H3068 will lookH6822 I will waitH3176 for the GodH0430 of my salvationH3468 will hear meH8085 My God.H0430

8: NotH0408 do rejoiceH8056 my enemy-H0341 whenH3588 I fall,H5307 I will arise-H6965 whenH3588 I sitH3427 in darkness,H2822 Yahweh [will be]H3068 a lightH0216

9: The indignationH2197 of Yahweh,H3068 I will bearH5375 becauseH3588 I have sinnedH2398 untilH5704 thatH0834 He pleadsH7378 my case,H7379 and executesH6213 justice for meH4941 He will bring me forthH3318 to the light,H0216 I will seeH7200 His righteousness.H6666

10: And will seeH7200 [she who is] my enemyH0341 and will cover herH3680 shameH0955 who saidH0559 to meH0413 where isH0346 YahwehH3068 your God?H0430 My eyesH5869 will seeH7200 nowH6258 she will beH1961 trampled downH4823 Like mud inH2916 the streets.H2351

11: [In] the dayH3117 when are to be built,H1129 your wallsH1447 [In] dayH3117 thatH1931 shall go far and wideH7368 the decree.H2706

12: [In] dayH3117 thatH1931 and to youH5704 they shall comeH0935 fromH4480 Assyria,H0804 and the cities,H5892 of EgyptH4692 and fromH4480 EgyptH4693 and toH5704 the River,H5104 and from seaH3220 to sea,H3220 and mountainH2022 [to] mountain.H2022

13: And yet shall beH1961 the landH0776 desolateH8077 becauseH5921 of those who dwell in itH3427 and for the fruitH6529 of their deeds.H4611

14: ShepherdH7462 Your peopleH5971 with Your staff,H7626 the flockH6629 of Your heritage,H5159 who dwellH7931 solitarilyH0910 [in] a woodland,H3293 in the midst ofH8432 Carmel-H3760 let them feedH7462 in BashanH1316 and Gilead,H1568 as in daysH3117 of old.H5769

15: As in the days whenH3117 you came outH3318 of the landH0776 of EgyptH4714 I will show themH7200 wonders.H6381

16: Shall seeH7200 the nationsH1471 and be ashamedH0954 of allH3605 their might.H1369 They shall putH7760 [their] handH3027 overH5921 [their] mouth,H6310 their earsH0241 shall be deaf.H2790

17: They shall lickH3897 the dustH6083 like a serpent,H5175 like snakesH2119 of the earth.H0776 They shall crawlH7264 from their holesH4526 ofH0413 YahwehH3068 our God,H0430 they shall be afraidH6342 and shall fearH3372 because of You.H4480

18: Who [is]H4310 a GodH0410 like You,H3644 PardoningH5375 iniquity,H5771 and passingH5674 overH5921 the transgressionH6588 of the remnantH7611 of His heritage?H5159 notH3808 He does retainH2388 forever,H5703 His angerH0639 becauseH3588 delightsH2654 [in] mercyH2617 He.H1931

19: He will again,H7725 have compassion on usH7355 will subdueH3533 our iniquities-H5771 and You will castH7993 Into the depthsH4688 of the seaH3220 allH3605 our sins.H2403

20: You will giveH5414 truthH0571 to Jacob,H3290 [And] mercyH2617 to Abraham,H0085 whichH0834 You have swornH7650 to our fathersH0001 from daysH3117 of old.H6924
