How shall I know
that you are God,
my Lord and Master,
Judgment in your right hand
And mercy on your lips?
How shall I know
that I am home,
that I will be gathered,
be beloved,
be returned?
Will I know You by my enemies,
by their decimation and ruin?
Is that Your glory, Lord,
Your secret name?
Are You the eternal Lord of Hosts,
battle-ready, all iron and stone -
My Rock,
My Redeemer -
Is there yet no give in You?
How shall I know You, God?
What shall I call You?
How will I know I am home?
Based, with a twist, on Ezekiel 28:25 - 29:10, the haftara for parashat Vaera
