4. Convert us, O God: and shew us thy face, and we shall be saved.
5. O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy servant?
6. How long wilt thou feed us with the bread of tears: and give us for our drink tears in measure?
7. Thou hast made us to be a contradiction to our neighbours: and our enemies have scoffed at us.
8. O God of hosts, convert us: and shew thy face, and we shall be saved.
9. Thou hast brought a vineyard out of Egypt: thou hast cast cut the Gentiles and planted it.
10. Thou wast the guide of its journey in its sight: thou plantedst the roots thereof, and it filled the land.
11. The shadow of it covered the hills: and the branches thereof the cedars of God.
12. It stretched forth its branches unto the sea, and its boughs unto the river.
13. Why hast thou broken down the hedge thereof, so that all they who pass by the way do pluck it?
14. The boar out of the wood hath laid it waste: and a singular wild beast hath devoured it.
15. Turn again, O God of hosts, look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vineyard:
16. And perfect the same which thy right hand hath planted: and upon the son of man whom thou hast confirmed for thyself.
