Slumber

In a dream, in a vision in the night, when deep sleep falls upon men as they slumber on their beds,

He will not allow your foot to slip; your Protector will not slumber.

Behold, the Protector of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,

For they cannot sleep unless they do evil; they are deprived of slumber until they make someone fall.

Allow no sleep to your eyes or slumber to your eyelids.

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,

Israel’s watchmen are blind, they are all oblivious; they are all mute dogs, they cannot bark; they are dreamers lying around, loving to slumber.

O king of Assyria, your shepherds slumber; your officers sleep. Your people are scattered on the mountains with no one to gather them.

And do this, understanding the occasion. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
