We ended up being accursed
The heavens above turned brass
Walking the iron earth beneath
Country's rain is now dust and sand
Being defeated by the enemy
Advancing in one direction
And fleeing from them in seven
A terrifying lesson
To all the kingdoms of the world
Struck down with Egyptian ulcers
With swellings in the groin
With scurvy and the itch
Struck down with madness
With blindness
Distraction of mind
Until we grope our way at noon
Like a blind man
Groping in the dark
Exploited and plundered
Get engaged to a woman
Another one will have her
Build a house
But others will live in it
A nation hitherto unknown
Eats the yield of the soil
Driven mad we are
By the sights we see
All these curses befell us
Now pursued and overtaken
A sign and a wonder
Over descendants for ever

For I knew you
To be obstinate
Your neck an iron sinew
And your forehead bronze
As I told you
About it long before
Before it happened
I revealed it to you
So that you
Could not say
'My statue did it, my idol,
My metal image, ordained this'
You have heard
And seen all this
Why won't you
admit it?
Now I am going to reveal
New things to you
Secrets that
You do not know
They have just been created
Not long ago
For a long time your ear
Has not been attentive
For I knew
How treacherous you were
You have been called a rebel
Since the womb
Look, I have purchased you
But not for silver
I have chosen you out
Of the cauldron of affliction

Why the mountains
Have shuddered
And why corpses are lying
like dung in the streets
After all this
His anger is not spent
No, His hand
Is still raised!
He hoists a signal
For a distant nation
He whistles them up
From the ends of the earth and see
How swift, how fleet they come!
None of them tired
None of them stumbling
None of them asleep or drowsy
None of them with belt unfastened
None of them with broken sandal-strap

Damnatio Memoriae

I saw a ram standing
In front of the gate
It had two horns; both were tall
One taller than the other
And the one that rose the higher
Was the second
I saw the ram butting westwards northwards and southwards
No animal could stand up to it
Nothing could escape its power
It did as it pleased and became strong
A goat from the west
Encroaching over
The entire surface of the world
Though never touching the ground
And between its eyes
The goat had one majestic horn
It advanced on the two-horned ram
Which I had seen standing
In front of the gate, and charged at it
In the full force of its fury
I saw it reach the ram
It was enraged with the ram
And struck it
Breaking both its horns
The ram was not strong enough to hold its ground
It threw it to the ground
And trampled it underfoot
No one was there
To rescue the ram

The wood carver takes his measurements
Outlines the image with chalk
Executes it with the chisel
Following the outline with a compass
He makes it look like a human being
With human standards of beauty
So that it can
Reside in a dwelling
He has cut down cedars
Has selected an oak and a terebinth
Which he has grown for himself
Among the trees in the forest
He has planted a pine tree
Which the rain has nourished
Once it is suitable to burn
He takes some of it to warm himself
Having kindled it, he bakes bread
But he also makes a god and worships it
He makes an idol from it
And bows down before it.
Half of it he burns on the fire
Over this half he roasts meat
Eats it and is replete
At the same time he warms himself
And says 'Ah, how warm I am, watching the flames!'
With the remainder
He makes a god, his idol
Bows down before it,
Worships it and prays to it
'Save me,' he says, 'for you are my god.'
They know nothing, they understand nothing
Since their eyes are incapable of seeing
And their hearts
Of reflecting
Not one of them has the knowledge
And wit to think
'I burned half of it on the fire
And cooked food over the embers'
He hankers after ashes
His deluded heart has led him astray
He will not save himself, he will not think
'What I have in my hand is nothing but a lie!'
Who ever fashioned a god
Or cast an image without hope of gain?
Watch how all its devotees
Will be put to shame
Let them all assemble,
let them stand forward
And feel fear and blame!
