Dear Jehovah God,
יטוַיִּפְקַ֤ח אֱלֹהִים֙ אֶת־עֵינֶ֔יהָ וַתֵּ֖רֶא בְּאֵ֣ר מָ֑יִם וַתֵּ֜לֶךְ וַתְּמַלֵּ֤א אֶת־הַחֵ֨מֶת֙ מַ֔יִם וַתַּ֖שְׁקְ אֶת־הַנָּֽעַר:
And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water, and she went and filled the pouch with water and gave the lad to drink.
Isaiah 32:14
Because the palace is abandoned, the populated city forsaken. Hill and watch-tower become caves forever, a delight for wild donkeys, a pasture for flocks.
Isaiah 13:22 – the palace
Hyenas howl in their fortified towers and jackals in their luxurious palaces. Her fateful time also soon comes and her days are not be prolonged.
Isaiah 25:2; 32:14; 34:13 – palaces
For You make a city into a heap, a fortified city into a ruin; a palace of strangers is a city no more, it never rebuilds.
Because the palace is abandoned, the populated city forsaken. Hill and watch-tower become caves forever, a delight for wild donkeys, a pasture for flocks.
Thorns come up in its fortified towers, nettles and thistles in its fortified cities; it is also a haunt of jackals and an abode of ostriches.
Intention of this prayer: palaces.
Because the palace abandoned, the multitude of the city forsaken. Ophel and watch-tower become caves forever, a delight for wild donkeys, a pasture for flocks. Howling creatures howl in their fortified towers and jackals in their luxurious palaces. Her time also is near to come and her days are not be prolonged. For You make a city into a heap, a fortified city into a ruin; a palace of strangers is a city no more, it never rebuilds. Because the palace abandoned, the multitude of the city forsaken. Ophel and watch-tower become caves forever, a delight for wild donkeys, a pasture for flocks. Thorns come up in its fortified towers, nettles and thistles in its fortified cities; it is also a haunt of jackals, an abode of ostriches.
You are Self-Sufficient. Hear, O Your people, and You will speak; O Israel, You will testify against us; You are God Jehovah, our God. You do not reprove us for our sacrifices, and our burnt offerings are continually before You. You shall take no young bull out of our house nor male goats our of our folds. For every beast of the forest is Yours, the called on a thousand hills. You know every bird of the mountains, and everything that moves in the field is Yours. If You were hungry You would not tell us, for the world is Yours, and all it contains. You God Jehovah who made the world and all things in it, since You are Lord of heaven and earth, do not dwell in temples made with hands; nor are You served by human hands, as though You needed anything, since You Yourself give to all people life and breadth and all things. For from You and through You and to You are all things. To You be the glory forever. Amen. Within Yourself, You Jehovah God are able to act, that is, to bring about Your will without any assistance. Although You may choose to us assistance it is Your good pleasure, not Your need that governs that choice.
You are Faithful. I know therefore that You Jehovah my God, You are God, the faithful God, who keeps Your covenant and Your lovingkindness to a thousandth generation with those who love You and keep Your commandments. If we are faithless, You remain faithful, for You cannot deny Yourself. You. Jehovah God. are always true to Your promises.
You are Jehovah God, Jehovah the One and Only!
שמע ישראל יהוה אלהנו יהוה אחד:
אמו. Amen, Amen, & Amen.
