JEREMIAH BY MACHPELAH
17

Zilpah with face of anguish, heart of dread,
And Bilhah grieving for the evil day,
Her hands to God uplifted in dismay.

Turn, O ye perfect ones,
Unto your rest again;
I will fulfil for you
All that your hearts desire:
Down unto Babylon
With you My Presence went;
Surely will I return
Your sons' captivity.
