"Behold,I, even I am bringingthe floodof waterupon the earth,to destroyallfleshin whichis the breathof life,from underheaven;everythingthat is on the earthshall perish.
"But the fallingmountaincrumblesaway,And the rockmovesfrom its place;
Wherenowis my hope?And whoregardsmy hope?
"He breaksme downon everyside,and I am gone;And He has uprootedmy hopelike a tree.

"My daysare swifterthana weaver'sshuttle,And cometo an endwithouthope.
Then He saidto me, "Sonof man,thesebonesare the wholehouseof Israel;behold,they say,Our bonesare driedup and our hopehas perished.We are completely cutoff.'
