They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold.
They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge from the poor.
I sleep, but my heart wakes: it is the voice of my beloved that knocks, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my perfect one: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.
They that did eat delicacies are desolate in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet embrace ash heaps.
(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
