infants at the breast;

Let the bridegroom come forth from his chamber,

And the bride from her bower.[1219]

Let the priests, the ministers of Jehovah, weep

between porch and altar;

Let them say, Spare, O Jehovah, Thy people,

And give not Thine heritage to dishonour, for the

heathen to mock them:[1220]

Why should it be said among the nations, Where is

their God?
