May I tell you truly,
You who’re so unruly,
Life is to be measured
By Him who’s to be treasured.
God, who is The Righteous,
Is a God of justice.
He declared His wisdom
Through those who had His vision.
They foretold the future,
Of nations in a stupor,
Of times like that of Noah,
Of people in...

‘Return to Me with all your heart,
And with fasting, weeping and...
“Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has wrought desolations in the earth.
He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He burns the chariots with fire.

I will be exalted among the nations, I will be...
“I heard and my inward parts trembled,
At the sound my lips quivered.
Decay enters my bones,
And in my place I tremble.

Why does Your anger smoke against the sheep of Your pasture?
