Among the smooth stones of the stream is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?

The verse 6 is found in chapter 57 of Isaiah. The chapter denounces idolatry and corrupt religious practices in Israel, but also promises comfort to the humble and contrite. God dwells with the brokenhearted, so divine transcendence does not imply distance from human suffering. The absence of peace for the wicked closes the section by reminding us that restoration does not eliminate moral responsibility.

Dein Wesen ist an den glatten Bachsteinen, die sind dein Teil; ihnen schüttest du dein Trankopfer, da du Speisopfer opferst. Sollte ich mich darüber trösten?
En las pulimentadas piedras del valle está tu parte; ellas, ellas son tu suerte; y a ellas derramaste libación, y ofreciste presente. ¿No me tengo de vengar de estas cosas?
Entre las piedras lisas del torrente está tu porción; ellas, ellas son tu suerte. También para ellas has derramado libaciones y ofrecido ofrendas de cereal. ¿He de aplacarme con estas cosas?
C'est dans les pierres polies des torrents qu'est ton partage, Voilà, voilà ton lot; C'est à elles que tu verses des libations, Que tu fais des offrandes: Puis-je être insensible à cela?
La tua parte è nelle pietre pulite de’ torrenti; quelle, quelle son la tua sorte; a quelle eziandio hai sparse offerte da spandere, e presentate oblazioni; con tutte queste cose potrei io esser rappacificato?
Nas pedras lisas dos ribeiros está a tua parte; estas, estas são a tua sorte; sobre elas também derramaste a tua libação, e lhes ofereceste ofertas; contentar-me-ia eu com estas coisas?
去拜谷中光滑的石頭有你們的份, 這些就是你們的命運。 你向它們獻澆酒祭,獻供物, 這事我豈能容忍嗎?
