For You have been a refuge for the poor,a stronghold for the needy in distress,a refuge from the storm,a shade from the heat.For the breath of the ruthlessis like rain against a wall,
They will rebuild the ancient ruins;they will restore the places long devastated;they will renew the ruined cities,the desolations of many generations.
And that night God did so. Only the fleece was dry, and dew covered the ground.
A drought is upon her waters,and they will be dried up.For it is a land of graven images,and the people go mad over idols.
