the Lord from his holy temple.

and will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.

like waters that are poured down a steep place.

and moan like the daughters of owls.

even to Jerusalem.

At Beth Ophrah I have rolled myself in the dust.

He who is the glory of Israel will come to Adullam.

for they have gone into captivity from you!
