spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.

6. Quoniam sicut mulierem relictam et destitutam spiritu vocavit to Iehova; et uxorem adolescentiae, quae repudiata fueras, dicit Deus tuus.

7. For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.

7. Ad exiguum momentum reliqui to, et in misericordiis magnis colligam to.

8. In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.

8. In momento irae abscondi faciem meam paulisper a to; at clementia sempiterna misertus sum tui, dicit redemptor tuus Iehova.

9. For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

9. Quoniam aquae (vel, sicut dies) Noe, hoc mihi; quandoquidem juravi non fore ut amplius transirent aquae Noe super terram; ita juravi non fore ut tibi irascar vel increpem to.

10. For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.

12. And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.

12. Et ponam e margaritis fenestras tuas, et portas tuas ex lapide rutilante, et omnes fines tuos ex lapide pretioso.

13. And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

13. Nam omnes filii tui docti ab Iehova, et multa pax filiis tuis. 14. In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.

14. In justitia praeparaberis, longe aberis ab oppressione, quia non timebis eam; et a pavore, quia non appropinquabit tibi.

15. Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

15. Et conveniens conveniet contra to absque me; qui convenerit in to, contra to cadet.

16. Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire,
