1Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
2Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh
3Turn us again, O God,
4O Lord God of hosts,
5Thou feedest them with the bread of tears;
6Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours:
7Turn us again, O God of hosts,
8Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt:
9Thou preparedst room before it,
10The hills were covered with the shadow of it,
11She sent out her boughs unto the sea,
12Why hast thou then broken down her hedges,
13The boar out of the wood doth waste it,
14Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts:
15And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted,
16It is burnt with fire, it is cut down:
17Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand,
18So will not we go back from thee:
19Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts,
