Thus says the Lum, your Redeemer, and Ismel’s Hope,
For your sake, I to Babel will send,
And throw down all its bars,
And the Kasdim rejoicing in ships.
I am your STILL LIVING hope,
And your King,-——the Creator of Israel.

Thus says the LORD, Who made roads in the sea,
And a. pathway in waters of might;
Who led in the chariots, the army and warriors,
Where they fell down together, and rose not again;
They were quenched like a. lamp that is drowned.
‘ Do not you remember the past?
Nor refiect on preceding events?
Look! I act afresh, not begin ;
Will you not then learn?
I will make in the moorland a road,
In the desert make brooks.
When the beasts of the field, snakes, and Daughters of Woe,
Will thank Me, Who gave in the Wilderness streams,
In the desert the Brooke for My loved Race to drink;
This People I formed for Myself;
They also should give to Me thanks.
But, jacob, you call not on Me;
Nor, Israel, work for My sake,
You bring Me no Lamb as a gift,
Nor by sacrifice pay Me respect.
But have I not served you with food P
Did I not give incense to you ?
With your silver, you bought Me no cane,
Nor perfume with the sacrificed fat,
But forsook.Me, for love of your sins,
And you loathed Me, because of your vice.
But as I, MYSELF, only EXIST,
I will blot out your crimes for Myself,
And no more remember your sins.
Let us try to be equally just,
Bring your record to show you are- right.
Your Leader at first caused the sin,
And your satirists jested at ME ;
So your Grand Princes I will destroy,
'1`o destruction will jacob resign,
And Israel give up to Reproachf

‘ Now listen, jacob, My Friend,
And Israel in whom I delight}
Thus says your Maker, the LIFE,
And your Helper, Who formed from the womb;
Have no fear, jacob, My friend,
