Промовляйте до серця Ерусалимові й вістїте йому, що час боротьби його вже скінчився, що неправедність його вже надоложена, бо він прийняв аж удвоє за гріхи свої з руки Господньої.

for our God!

Всякий видол нехай заповниться, а всяка гора й горб нехай униз подадуться, всякі закрути нехай випростуються, й місця нерівні вирівняються.

Their beauty fades as quickly
as the flowers in a field.

The grass withers and the flowers fade
beneath the breath of the LORD.
And so it is with people.

The grass withers and the flowers fade,
but the word of our God stands forever.”

Хто б то вичерпав пригорщею воду, хто пяддю виміряв небеса; хто змістив у міру пил земний, зважив на вазї гори, а на тарілках вагових — горби?
Хто збагнув дух Господень, був порадником йому і вчив його?
Has the LORD ever needed anyone’s advice?
Does he need instruction about what is good?
Did someone teach him what is right
or show him the path of justice?
