For, when I think about this, I am terrified and my body feels a shudder.

I remember your ancient regulations, O Lord, and console myself.

I remember your name during the night, O Lord, and I will keep your law.

I recall the old days; I meditate on all you have done; I reflect on your accomplishments.

They do not realize that I remember all of their wicked deeds. Their evil deeds have now surrounded them; their sinful deeds are always before me.

And with all your abominable practices and prostitution you did not remember the days of your youth when you were naked and bare, kicking around in your blood.

When my life was ebbing away, I called out to the Lord, and my prayer came to your holy temple.

“Go and declare in the hearing of the people of Jerusalem: ‘This is what the Lord says: “I have fond memories of you, how devoted you were to me in your early years. I remember how you loved me like a new bride; you followed me through the wilderness, through a land that had never been planted.

“‘Because you did not remember the days of your youth and have enraged me with all these deeds, I hereby repay you for what you have done, declares the sovereign Lord. Have you not engaged in prostitution on top of all your other abominable practices?
