And the Lord said to me in the days of Josiah the king, Have you seen what things the house of Israel has done to Me? They have gone on every high mountain, and under every shady tree, and have committed fornication there.

Every man is deprived of knowledge, every goldsmith is confounded because of his graven images; for he has cast false gods, there is no breath in them.

Such is not the portion of Jacob; for He that formed all things, He is his inheritance; the Lord is His name.

A Song of Degrees. I lifted up my eyes to the mountains- from where my help shall come.

My help [shall come] from the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.

But they that framed [false gods] did not then hearken; and they that engraved [images] are all vain, performing their own desires, which shall not profit them, but they shall be ashamed

Assemble yourselves and come; take counsel together, you that escape from the nations. They that set up wood, [even] their graven image, have no knowledge, nor do they who pray to gods that do not save.

They bear it upon the shoulder, and go; and if they put it upon its place, it remains, it cannot move; and whosoever shall cry to it, it cannot hear; it cannot save him from trouble.

[Therefore r]emember these things, and groan; repent, you that have gone astray, return in your heart;

Whereas I brought them into the land concerning which I lifted up My hand to give it to them; and they looked upon every high hill, and every shady tree, and they sacrificed there to their gods, and offered there sweet-smelling savors, and there they poured out their drink offerings.

[ 2:9] Those that observe vanities and lies have forsaken their own mercy.

[ 2:10] But I will sacrifice to You with the voice of praise and thanksgiving: all that I have vowed I will pay to You, the Lord of my salvation.

O Lord, [You are] the hope of Israel, and deliver [us] in times of trouble; why have You become as a sojourner upon the land, or as one born in the land, yet turning aside for a resting place?

Deliverance is the Lord's, and Your blessing is upon Your people.

But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord; and He is their defender in the time of affliction.

And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them; and He shall rescue them from sinners, and save them, because they have hoped in Him.

A Song of Degrees. I lifted up my eyes to the mountains- from where my help shall come.

My help [shall come] from the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.

Behold, my God is my Savior; I will trust in Him, and not be afraid; for the Lord is my glory and my praise, and has become my salvation.

I am God; and beside Me there is no savior.

For you are God, yet we knew [it] not, the God of Israel, the Savior.

Israel is saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation; they shall not be ashamed nor confounded forever.

Who is this that has come from Edom, [with] red garments from Bosor? Thus fair in his apparel, with mighty strength? I speak of righteousness and saving judgment.

For You are our Father; for [though] Abraham knew us not, and Israel did not acknowledge us, yet do You, O Lord, our Father, deliver us; Your name has been upon us from the beginning.

But I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and will save them by the Lord their God, and will not save them with bow, nor with sword, nor by war, nor by horses, nor by horsemen.

You worship what you do not know; we [Jews] worship what we know, because salvation is of the Jews.
