Wail, idols of Jerusalem and Samaria§1

1When the old people fell, Judah carved idols in Jerusalem and Samaria. Wail, you idols — judgment shakes inhabited cities.

Latin · §1

Olim quando peccavit populus prior, excidit a religione et sculptilia fabricatus est Iudas in Hierusalem et Israel in Samaria. Ululate sculptilia — iudicium super idola et civitates habitatas.

Pride’s inflation; house on the rock§2

2Beware pride’s swelling. Stand firm with a house built on the rock — Jesus Christ, to whom be glory. Amen.

Latin · §2

Videamus inflationem eius ut eam caveamus. Stabiles perseveremus habentes aedificium super petram Iesum Christum, cui gloria. Amen.
