10. We covered the mountains with our shade.We had limbs like the mighty cedar tree.
11. Our branches reached the Mediterranean Sea.And our shoots went to the Euphrates River.
12. So why did you pull down our walls?Now everyone who passes by steals from us.
13. Like wild pigs they walk over us.Like wild animals they feed on us.
14. God of heaven’s armies, come back.Look down from heaven and see.Take care of us, your vine.
15. You planted this shoot with your own hands.You raised and strengthened this child.
16. Now it is cut down and burned with fire.You destroyed us by your angry looks.
17. Help the man you have chosen.Make this human being strong for your service.
18. Then we will not turn away from you.Give us life again, and we will call to you for help.
19. Lord God of heaven’s armies, take us back.Show us your kindness so we can be saved.
