Then Moses ^H4872 and Aaron ^H175 came ^H935 to Pharaoh ^H6547 and said ^H559 to him, “Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068, the God ^H430 of the Hebrews ^H5680, ‘How ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970 will you refuse ^H3985 to humble ^H6031 yourself before ^H4480 H6440 Me? Let ^H7971 My people ^H5971 go ^H7971, that they may serve ^H5647 Me.

Then Yahweh ^H3068 said ^H559 to Samuel ^H8050, “How ^H4970 long ^H5704 will you be grieving ^H56 over ^H413 Saul ^H7586? I have rejected ^H3988 him from being ^H4427 king ^H4427 over ^H5921 Israel ^H3478. Fill ^H4390 your horn ^H7161 with oil ^H8081 and go ^H1980; I will send ^H7971 you to Jesse ^H3448 the Bethlehemite ^H1022, for I see ^H7200 among his sons ^H1121 a king ^H4428 for Me.”

“If ^H518 I lie ^H7901 down ^H7901 I say ^H559,

‘When ^H4970 shall I arise ^H6965?’

But the twilight ^H6153 continues ^H4058,

And I am ^H7646 saturated ^H7646 with tossing ^H5076 until ^H5704 dawn ^H5399.

And my soul ^H5315 is greatly ^H3966 dismayed ^H926;

But You, O Yahweh ^H3068—how ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970?

My enemies ^H340 speak ^H559 evil ^H7451 against me,

“When ^H4970 will he die ^H4191, and his name ^H8034 perish ^H6?”

My soul ^H5315 thirsts ^H6770 for God ^H430, for the living ^H2416 God ^H410;

When ^H4970 shall I come ^H935 and [fn]appear ^H7200 before ^H6440 God ^H430?

How ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970, O God ^H430, will the adversary ^H6862 reproach ^H2778?

Will the enemy ^H340 spurn ^H5006 Your name ^H8034 forever ^H5331?

O Yahweh ^H3068 God ^H430 of hosts ^H6635,

How ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970 will You [fn]smolder ^H6225 against the prayer ^H8605 of Your people ^H5971?

How ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970 will you judge ^H8199 unrighteously ^H5766

And show ^H5375 partiality ^H6440 H5375 to the wicked ^H7563? [fn]Selah ^H5542.

Return ^H7725, O Yahweh ^H3068; how ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970 will it be?

And [fn]be ^H5162 sorry ^H5162 for Your slaves ^H5650.

How ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970 shall the wicked ^H7563, O Yahweh ^H3068,

How ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970 shall the wicked ^H7563 exult ^H5937?

Discern ^H995, you senseless ^H1197 among the people ^H5971;

And when ^H4970 will you have insight ^H7919, you fools ^H3684?

I will [fn]consider ^H7919 the way ^H1870 of the blameless ^H8549.

When ^H4970 will You come ^H935 to me?

I will walk ^H1980 within ^H7130 my house ^H1004 in the [fn]integrity ^H8537 of my heart ^H3824.

My eyes ^H5869 fail ^H3615 with longing for Your [fn]word ^H565,

Saying ^H559, “When ^H4970 will You comfort ^H5162 me?”

How ^H4100 many ^H4100 are the days ^H3117 of Your slave ^H5650?

When ^H4970 will You execute ^H6213 judgment ^H4941 on those who persecute ^H7291 me?

“How ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970, O simple ^H6612 ones ^H6612, will you love ^H157 simplicity ^H6612?

And scoffers ^H3887 delight ^H2530 in scoffing ^H3944

And [fn]fools ^H3684 hate ^H8130 knowledge ^H1847?

How ^H4970 long ^H5704 will you lie ^H7901 down ^H7901, O sluggard ^H6102?

When ^H4970 will you arise ^H6965 from your sleep ^H8142?

“They struck ^H5221 me, but I did not become ^H2470 [fn]ill ^H2470;

They beat ^H1986 me, but I did not know ^H3045 it.

When ^H4970 shall I awake ^H6974?

I will seek ^H1245 yet ^H5750 another ^H3254.”

Then I said ^H559, “Lord ^H136, how ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970?” And He said ^H559,

“Until ^{H5704 H834 H518} cities ^H5892 are devastated ^H7582 and without ^H369 inhabitant ^H3427,

Houses ^H1004 are without ^H369 people ^H120,

And the land ^H127 is devastated ^H7582 to desolation ^H8077,

Wash ^H3526 your heart ^H3820 from evil ^H7451, O Jerusalem ^H3389,

That you may be saved ^H3467.

How ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970 will your wicked ^H205 thoughts ^H4284

Lodge ^H3885 within ^H7130 you?

How ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970 must I see ^H7200 the standard ^H5251

And hear ^H8085 the sound ^H6963 of the trumpet ^H7782?

How ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970 is the land ^H776 to mourn ^H56

And the plants ^H6212 of every ^H3605 field ^H7704 to dry ^H3001 up ^H3001?

Because of the evil ^H7451 of those who inhabit ^H3427 it,

Animals ^H929 and birds ^H5775 have been swept ^H5595 away ^H5595,

Because ^H3588 men have said ^H559, “He will not see ^H7200 our latter ^H319 ending ^H319.”

“As for your adulteries ^H5004 and your lustful neighings ^H4684,

The lewdness ^H2154 of your prostitution ^H2184

On the hills ^H1389 in the field ^H7704,

I have seen ^H7200 your detestable ^H8251 things ^H8251.

Woe ^H188 to you, O Jerusalem ^H3389!

How ^H4970 long ^{H310 H4970 H5750} will you not ^H3808 cleanse ^H2891 yourself?”

“How ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970 will you go ^H2559 here ^H2559 and there ^H2559,

O faithless ^H7728 daughter ^H1323?

For Yahweh ^H3068 has created ^H1254 a new ^H2319 thing ^H2319 in the earth ^H776—

A [fn]woman ^H5347 will encompass ^H5437 a man ^H1397.”

“Baldness ^H7144 has come ^H935 upon Gaza ^H5804;

Ashkelon ^H831 has been ruined ^H1820.

O remnant ^H7611 of their valley ^H6010,

How ^H4970 long ^H5704 will you gash ^H1413 yourself?

[fn]He has rejected ^H2186 your calf ^H5695, O Samaria ^H8111, saying,

“My anger ^H639 burns ^H2734 against them!”

How ^H4970 long ^H5704 will they be ^H3201 incapable ^H3808 H3201 of innocence ^H5356?

“When ^H4970 will the new ^H2320 moon ^H2320 pass ^H5674 over ^H5674,

So that we may sell ^H7666 grain ^H7668,

And the sabbath ^H7676, that we may open ^H6605 the wheat ^H1250 market,

To make ^H6994 the [fn]bushel ^H374 smaller ^H6994 and the [fn]shekel ^H8255 bigger ^H1431,

And to cheat ^H5791 with a deceptive ^H4820 balance ^H3976,

“Will not all ^H3605 of these ^H428 lift ^H5375 up ^H5375 a taunt-song ^H4912 against ^H5921 him,

Even satire ^H4426 and riddles ^H2420 against him

And say ^H559, ‘Woe ^H1945 to him who increases ^H7235 what is not his—

For how ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970—

And makes ^H3513 himself [fn]rich ^H3513 with loans ^H5671?’

Then the angel ^H4397 of Yahweh ^H3068 answered ^H6030 and said ^H559, “O Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635, how ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970 will You have ^H7355 no ^H3808 compassion ^H7355 for ^H7355 Jerusalem ^H3389 and the cities ^H5892 of Judah ^H3063, with which ^H834 You have been ^H2194 indignant ^H2194 these ^H2088 seventy ^H7657 years ^H8141?”
