¹attention you (PL) heavens, and I will speak,

his children, theirs is the blemish;

a perverse and twisted/deceitful generation.

⁶will you (PL) thus Hashem repay,

ignoble and unwise people/nation?

him encircled, him made to understand, him watched (over),

him careful/on guard as his apple of the eye.

¹¹as an eagle stirs his nest,

flutters over his young,

spreads his wings and takes them,

¹²has Hashem alone him led,

and not having been with him a foreign G-d.

¹³he has him sat on the height of the earth,

and he has eaten the fruit of field;

and oil of flint stone/rock;

¹⁴sweet cream of cattle, and milk of sheep,

with fat of lambs,

and rams of Bashan and billy goats,

with kidney fat of wheat;

and of grape blood drink frothy wine.

¹⁵and Yeshurun is fat having become and has kicked –

you are fat, are thick, are fat having become;

and he did forsake G-d which has him created,

and dishonored the rock of his salvation.

¹⁶they have him provoked with jealousy with foreign g-ds,

with abominable practices him made angry.

I will my arrows destroy/ravage on them:

²⁴thin of famine, and food of heat,

and bitter pestilence/plague;

and the teeth of beasts will I send on them:

with venom of the dust creepers.

²⁵outside will take away the sword,

and in the rooms the terror;

and impulsive/unstable come which is prepared/ready for them.

³⁶for Hashem will self take hold of for his people,

the rock which they have self have taken shelter in him?

drank the wine of their drink offering?

shall they rise up and you (PL) help;

shall he be over you (PL) a secret/hiding place.

³⁹see now that I, I am this,

and not any G-d with me;

I kill and make living,

I wound and I heal,

and from my hand is not who shall rescue be.

⁴⁰because I lift to heaven my hand,

and say: so as I live for ever,

⁴¹when I sharpen the lightning of my sword,
