⁵ My Lord is Adonai-Tzva’ot.
It is He who touches the land so it melts,
and all its inhabitants will mourn.
Then it will surge like all the Nile,
and sink again like the Nile of Egypt.
⁶ He who builds His upper stories in heaven
    fitted its vault over the earth.
He who summons the waters of the sea
    and pours them out on the face of the earth
—Adonai is His Name.

⁷ “Are you not like the children
    of the Cushites to Me, Bnei-Yisrael?”
It is the declaration of Adonai.
“Did I not bring Israel up from the land of Egypt,
    the Philistines from Caphtor, and Aram from Kir?”
