Bring near your contention, Saith Yahweh, - Advance your defences, Saith the King of Jacob:

Let them advance them, and tell us, What shall happen, - Things known in advance - what they were, tell ye, That we may lay them to our heart and mark the after-story of them, Or, things yet to come, let us hear:

Tell ye the events which shall be here-after, That we may perceive that gods, ye are, - Surely ye must do something - good or bad, That we may be amazed and behold it, at once.

Lo! ye, are, of nought, And your work is a puff of breath, - An abomination, he that chooseth you!
