4 We have been happy, O Israel, because the things that are pleasing to God have been made clear to us.
5 Be ever more peaceful in soul, O people of God, the memorial of Israel.
6 You have been sold to the nations, not into destruction, but because of this, in resentment, you provoked God to wrath, and so you have been delivered to adversity.
7 For you have exasperated him who made you, the eternal God, by sacrificing to evil spirits, and not to God.
8 For you have forgotten God, who nurtured you, and you have saddened Jerusalem, your nurse.
9 For she saw the wrath of God approaching you, and she said, "Listen, region of Zion, for God has brought upon me great sorrow.
10 For I have seen the captivity of my people, my sons and daughters, which the Eternal has led over them.
