1 Oh that mine 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 practice reproaches and wickedness? And so judgement shall overtake you, sinners!
3 Fear not the sinners, ye righteous; for again will the Lord deliver them into your hands, that ye may execute judgement upon them according to your desires.
4 Woe to you who fulminate anathemas which cannot be reversed! Healing shall therefore be far from you because of your sins!
5 Woe to you who requite your neighbour with evil; for ye shall be requited according to your works!
6 Woe to you, lying witnesses, and to those who weigh out injustice, for suddenly shall ye perish!
7 Woe to you, sinners, for ye persecute the righteous; for ye shall be delivered up and persecuted because of injustice, and heavy shall its yoke be upon you!
