4Therefore I speak as a sick man in distress seeking relief. 5Who in the nations shall speak for the nations? 6The children of Elohim (God) shall speak for them. 7But the children of Elohim (God) droop - they sink to the ground. 8They seek for water but find none. 9They go to the pools but they are dry. 10The crops have failed because there is no rain because their nevi'im (prophets) have spoken falsely, not teaching the emet (truth), therefore there has been no rain, no revival, just the wind.
11Therefore the hopes of the ministers are wrecked, their ministries fail, one by one. 12They send their flocks into ever higher places but they find no nourishment. 13The shepherds forsake their flocks, the mothers their calves. 14Each seeks his own but finds nothing. 15They sniff the wind for moisture, like wolves, and their eyes fail.
16Behold, their sins testify against them, their unfaithfulness is heaped high as a pile of leaves, their disloyalty causes them to turn away. 17Only when their lips are dry and their tongue cleaves to their palate do they begin to understand, shepherds and flocks alike. 18Only when their hope in the flesh is gone do they begin to turn. 19Only when they become a stranger in their own land do they begin to repent. 20Only when they have lost their homes and pitched their tents in the wilderness do they realise they are uncovered.
21Must they become as men powerless to save themselves, like a man suddenly overcome, before they turn to Yahweh again instead of to the gods of their own futile imaginings? 22The people of His Pasture love to stray from His ways, they love to go where they will. 23They revile His Torah and recrucify the Son of Elohim (God) by their constant sinning. 24With such he has no pleasure for their guilt is continually before Him. 25They will not repent, but love the Enemy of their souls, and will not turn [away] from him.
26Therefore do not pray for them for though they fast, I will not hear their prayers. 27Their words have become a vain thing, they have no intention of turning. 28If I feed them, they will turn at once to bitter fields as soon as their bellies are filled, craving more. 29Their sacrifices are not sincere, they seek Me to placate Me, but they will not repent and turn from their rebellious ways. 30And because they will not repent, I will make an end of them with the sword, and with pestilence, even as their nevi'im (prophets) tell them that there will be no sword, and no pestilence.
30For the nevi'im (prophets) prophesy lies, speaking soothing words in the vain imagination of their hearts, for then, the nevi'im (prophets) will not obey Me, they will not teach My Torah. 31Those nevi'im (prophets) shall meet their end - by sword, by famine, by pestilence, and by torrent. 32The people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out, their bodies shall be piled high, like a mound of dry and lifeless leaves. And none will bury them.
33My eyes will stream with tears day and night, for they have been brought down, and none would dave them. The nations cannot bring them rain, for the nations on whom they relied were fallen.
34O Yahweh, You have wounded us all because of the transgressions of Your People, and we can barely stand because of this burden. 35We acknowledge our [collective] wickedness as the Fallen Bride, and the guilt of those before us is upon us. 36We have sinned against You most grievously. 37Therefore, O Yahweh, do not despise the places where Your Name stands, do not bring contempt upon the Throne of Your Glory, and remember the Covenant with the Remnant, do not make it void. 38Only You, O Yahweh, can send healing. 39Only You can send spiritual rain. 40Only You can revive us.
41Are You not Elohim (God) that we might have hope in You? 42It is You who does all these things and in righteousness. 43Therefore forgive our complaint and bring back to our remembrance our place in the fallen nations. 44Cleanse the Body, cut off the dead branches, cleanse the diseased roots, and let Your People arise again to bring forth Your praises, to once more offer a godly harvest [of souls] to the Master of the Field.
45Let us be Your new bikkurim (firstfruits) on the Third Day [of the Jericho March]. 46Let us be found acceptable to You once we have been cleansed of our sins through the Blood of Your Son Yah'shua (Jesus).
47We know that neither a Moses nor a Samuel would appease Your wrath against the fallen nations, we know that it would not arouse Your pity because You have banished this generation from before Your Face. 48We know that those who are assigned to death shall go to their death. 49We know that those who are assigned to the sword shall go to the sword. 50We know that those who are assigned to famine shall go to the famine. 51And we know that those who are assigned to slavery shall go into slavery.52 Because of the crimes of the ministers and their great offense, their flocks shall go with them to be devoured. 53None shall take pity, none shall mourn.
54We are weary, Yahweh, therefore lift this unbearable heaviness from us. 55We return to You, take us back, that we may stand before You. 56We choose noble utterance and reject the base and profane, that we may once again be Your spokesmen. 57We turn to You, Father, and ask that You would turn to us with chesed (loving-kindness, grace).
58Make us a wall of bronze, impregnable, so that when our enemies attack us they cannot prevail, for You are with us to deliver us, and to save us. 59Deliver us from the wicked, rescue us from the ruthless, return our stolen wives and children to us [as at Ziklag], and [secure] our wealth, that we may be whole, and joyful, and consecrated children of El Elyon (God Most High). 60Make us as Moses and Samuel, as Elijah and Elisha, and as David and the Son of David (Yah'shua/Jesus). Make us Yours again. Amen.
A few hours later, during the afternoon and early evening I was in physical agony for 8 hours, and quite desperate for my life, and remained very shaken up and weak. Thanks to the intercession of the qodeshim (saints, set-apart ones) and the grace of El Elyon, I am alive. May Yahweh have mercy on us all as we seek to get right with Him during these Seven Days of Jericho Marching - may all the demonic walls and obstacles within and without come down with a mighty crash! May our emunah (faith ) justify us before the Throne! Amen.
