6 You have made us the scorn of neighboring nations.Our enemies treat us as a joke.
7 Turn us again to yourself, O God of Heaven’s Armies.Make your face shine down upon us.Only then will we be saved.
8 You brought us from Egypt like a grapevine;you drove away the pagan nations and transplanted us into your land.
9 You cleared the ground for us,and we took root and filled the land.
10 Our shade covered the mountains;our branches covered the mighty cedars.
11 We spread our branches west to the Mediterranean Sea;our shoots spread east to the Euphrates River.
12 But now, why have you broken down our wallsso that all who pass by may steal our fruit?
