breath unto
the people upon
it ,

to them
that
walk therein

walk in
it

myself:
`
now '
will
I cry
out
like a travailing
woman; I will gasp and pant together
.

I do, and I will not forsake them.

are our gods.

But this is a people robbed
and
plundered ;
they
are
all of
them
snared
in holes,
and
they
are
hid
in prison-houses:
they are
for
a
prey,
and
none
delivereth;
for
a
spoil
, and none
saith
, Restore.
But this is a people plundered and
looted,
all trapped
in caves
or
imprisoned
in dungeons.
They have
become
plunder
with
no
one
to
rescue
them
, and loot
with
no
one
to
say
, “Send
them
back!”
Who is
there
among you that

will listen
and obey
hereafter

Who gave Jacob for a
spoil, and Israel to the robbers
? did
not Jehovah?
he
against whom we have sinned ,
and
in whose
ways they would not walk,
neither
were
they
obedient
unto
his law.
Who gave Jacob up
for spoil, and Israel to the plunderers
? Was
it
not the
LORD,
against whom we have sinned ?
They
were
unwilling
to
walk
in His
ways ,
and
they would not obey
His law.
Therefore
he poured upon
him
the
fierceness
of
his anger ,
and the strength
of battle ;
and
it set
him
on
fire
round
about
, yet
he
knew
not; and
it burned
him
, yet
he
laid
it
not to heart.
So
He poured out
on
them
His furious
anger and the fierceness
of battle .
It enveloped
them
in
flames
, but
they
did
not understand
; it consumed
them
, but
they
did
not take
it
to heart.
