[17]For this hath our heart been sick, For these have our eyes been dim. [No book]
[18]For the mount of Zion -- that is desolate, Foxes have gone up on it. [No book]
[19]Thou, O Jehovah, to the age remainest, Thy throne to generation and generation. [No book]
[20]Why for ever dost Thou forget us? Thou forsakest us for length of days! [No book]
[21]Turn us back, O Jehovah, unto Thee, And we turn back, renew our days as of old. [No book]
[22]For hast Thou utterly rejected us? Thou hast been wroth against us -- exceedingly? [No book]
