Ara they more skilled than thc LORD to hide object,
And act when unseen P
Who can see us? and whoever cam know it ?’
Fools! Is the Formed thought its F ramer E
You never made me
You do not know how P ’
How iong before Lebano¤’s wasted like Carmel?
And Carmel become like a City besieged 2
Then the deaf in that day shall hear words that are read,
And the lost and blind eyes shall awake to their sight,
And the wretched again in the LORD shall delight;
And in Israel’s HOLY the poor will be glad ;
For fear *ends,——-insult fai1s,——and all rascals are broken,
That deceive men by words and by tricks in the Courts,
And that plot and conspire to pervert from the right.
Therefore thus says the LIVING, the HOUsE·Go1> of jacob,
Who was Abrahanfs Redeemer,
‘ You shall not fail, jacob,
They shall not o‘erwhelm you.
When his sons see My hand work for him,
They will honour MY NAME,
And worship the HOLY of jacob,
And fear Ismel’s GOD ;
Then the mad will learn reason,
The insane will have sense}

says the LORD,
‘ Who make plans ;—·—not from Me !
And cast Idols,—-—-but not by My will,
And heap sin upon sin!
‘rWho travel to- go down to Mitzer,
But ask not My thought ;
Who seek strength from strong Pharaoh,
And crouch in the shadow of Mitzer.
‘ Pha.raoh’s strength shall but bring you defeat,
Andthe Mitzeraim’s shadow to shame.
When their Chiefs came to Zoan,
And his Messengers met you at Hanes,
All scorned at a people so worthless to them,
Who could not help or strengthen, but weaken and shame.
ODE 46.

Load the beasts for the South, for a land hard and rough,
Whence came leopard, and lion, the asp and winged snake :
Yes load on the shoulders of asses your baggage;
For a race of no use, on humped camels your treasures;
Mitzer helps with weak smoke, so I call her,
The Home of Proud Sloth!
Go! carve on a tablet, and paint on a slab,
For the time of the future, to last for all ages,
Sons of Revolt, lying children,
Disinclined to obey the LORD’S Laws}
