A Poem of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the mercies of Jehovah forever; I will speak with my mouth Your faithfulness to generation and generation.
And He shall be for a sanctuary, and become a Stone-of-Stumbling and shall be a Rock -of-Falling to the two houses of Israel; for a trap and for a snare to the one living in Jerusalem.
Therefore, say, So says the Lord Jehovah: Though I have sent them far off among the nations, and though I scattered them among the lands, yet I was to them as a little sanctuary in the countries there where they had gone.
Are You not from aforetime, Jehovah our God, my Holy One? We shall not die, Jehovah, for You have appointed him for judgment. And, my Rock, You have established him to correct.
