At My rebuke the Sea dries up,·-—to deserts turn the streams,
The water gone, their fishes stink, and die because of thirst.
And I can clothe the skies in black,—spread sackcloth as their cloak.

Who of you fear the Loma?
List to His Servant’s voice.
You who in darknesswalk,
And lampless, trust toH1M ;
Trust on Tim Livme Powmz,
And lean upon our GOD.
The MIGHTY Loan nnclosed my ears;-—lturned not back-perverse,
All you who light a fire,
With fuel heaped around,
Walk in your tire’s light,
And by thecoals you burn.
My, hand will bring you this
With sorrow to lie down!
