¹ Oh that my eyes were [a cloud of] waters That I might weep over you, And pour down my tears as a cloud †of waters†: That so I might rest from my trouble of heart!

² †Who has permitted you to practise reproaches and wickedness? And so judgment will overtake you, sinners.†

³ Do not be afraid the sinners, you righteous; For again will the Lord deliver them into your hands, That you may carry out judgment upon them according to your desires.

⁴ Misery to you who fulminate anathemas which cannot be reversed: Healing will therefore be far from you because of your sins.

⁵ Misery to you who requite your neighbor with evil; For you will be requited according to your works.

⁶ Misery to you, lying witnesses, And to those who weigh out injustice, For suddenly will you perish.

⁷ Misery to you, sinners, for you persecute the righteous; For you will be delivered up and persecuted because of injustice, And heavy will its yoke be upon you.
