In the top of the uppermost bough,
Four or five in the branches of the fruitful tree,
Saith the LORD, the God of Israel.
|
TJBU
| 17:6

|
JPS
| 17:10
| For thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation,
And thou hast not been mindful of the Rock of thy stronghold;
Therefore thou didst plant plants of pleasantness,
And didst set it with slips of a stranger;
|
TJBU
| 17:10
| Because thou hast forsaken the God of thy salvation, and thou hast not remembered the fear of the Mighty One, whose Word was thy support; therefore thou hast planted a choice plant, and hast multiplied despicable works.
|

|
JPS
| 17:11

And in the morning thou didst make thy seed to blossom—
A heap of boughs in the day of grief
And of desperate pain.
|
TJBU
| 17:11
| After that ye were sanctified to be a people, there ye made your works despicable; and also when ye came to the land, the place of my Shekinah, there it was your duty to worship me; ye forsook my worship, and ye served idols: ye abhorred repentance till the day of your destruc tion came, then your sorrow was a breathing out of soul.

And like the whirling dust before the storm.

This is the portion of them that spoil us,
And the lot of them that rob us.
