God, we have much
distress and anguish of heart;
the tenants have seized
your Beloved Son
and they are going to
kill him.
Have you forgotten your
abundant love?
Give ear to our words;
heed our sighing, dear
God.
Without him our guidance
is gone--
your prophets obtain no
visions from you.

For I wrote you out of much distress and anguish of heart
and with many tears, not to cause you pain, but to let you know the abundant
