"[As] waterevaporatesfrom the sea,And a riverbecomesparchedand driedup,
So manliesdownand does not rise.Untilthe heavensare nolonger,He will not awakenorbe arousedout of his sleep.
The watersfrom the seawill dryup, And the riverwill be parchedand dry.
Whyhas my painbeenperpetualAnd my woundincurable,refusingto be healed?Will You indeedbe to me likea deceptive[stream] With waterthat is unreliable?
