11A partridge hatching, and not bringing forth, [Is] one making wealth, and not by right, In the midst of his days he doth forsake it, And in his latter end -- he is a fool.
12A throne of honour on high from the beginning, The place of our sanctuary,
13The hope of Israel [is] Jehovah, All forsaking Thee are ashamed, And `My apostates` in the earth are written, For they have forsaken Jehovah, A fountain of living waters.
14Heal me, O Jehovah, and I am healed, Save me, and I am saved, for my praise [art] Thou.
15Lo, they are saying unto me: `Where [is] the word of Jehovah? pray, let it come.`
16And I hastened not from feeding after Thee, And the desperate day I have not desired, Thou -- Thou hast known, The produce of my lips, before Thy face it hath been,
17Be not Thou to me for a terror, My hope [art] Thou in a day of evil.
