| 4 Jehovah, God of Hosts, till when Thou hast burned against the prayer of Thy people. |

| 8 A vine out of Egypt Thou dost bring, Thou dost cast out nations, and plantest it. |
|
| 9 Thou hast looked before it, and dost root it, And it filleth the land, |
|
| 10 Covered have been hills [with] its shadow, And its boughs [are] cedars of God. |
|
| 11 It sendeth forth its branches unto the sea, And unto the river its sucklings. |
|
| 12 Why hast Thou broken down its hedges, And all passing by the way have plucked it |
|
| 13 A boar out of the forest doth waste it, And a wild beast of the fields consumeth it. |
|
| 14 God of Hosts, turn back, we beseech Thee, Look from heaven, and see, and inspect this vine, |

|
| 16 Burnt with fire cut down, From the rebuke of Thy face they perish. |
|
| 17 Let Thy hand be on the man of Thy right hand, On the son of man Thou hast strengthened for Thyself.
|
|
| 18 And we do not go back from Thee, Thou dost revive us, and in Thy name we call. |
