וְחָרָה אַפִּי בוֹ בַיּוֹם־הַהוּא וַעֲזַבְתִּים וְהִסְתַּרְתִּי פָנַי מֵהֶם וְהָיָה לֶאֱכֹל וּמְצָאֻהוּ רָעוֹת רַבּוֹת וְצָרוֹת וְאָמַר בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא הֲלֹא עַל כִּי־אֵין אֱלֹהַי בְּקִרְבִּי מְצָאוּנִי הָרָעוֹת הָאֵלֶּה׃
Then My anger will flare up against them, and I will abandon them and hide My countenance from them. They shall be ready prey; and many evils and troubles shall befall them. And they shall say on that day, “Surely it is because our God is not in our midst that these evils have befallen us.”
Targum Onkelos
וְיִתְקַף רוּגְזִי בְהוֹן בְּעִדָּנָא הַהוּא וַאֲרַחֵיקִנּוּן וַאֲסַלֵּיק שְׁכִינְתִי מִנְּהוֹן וִיהוֹן לְמִבַּז וִיעָרְעָן יָתְהוֹן בִּישָׁן סַגִּיאָן וְעָקָן וְיֵימַר בְּעִדָּנָא הַהוּא הֲלָא מִדְּלֵית שְׁכִינַת אֱלָהִי בֵּינַי עָרְעַנִי בִּישָׁתָא הָאִלֵּין׃
And I will wax angry at them on that day and I will forsake [distance] them and I shall conceal My face [Shechinah] from them and they will be for consuming [scorned] and many evils and troubles will happen to them; and they will say on that day, ‘‘Look! Because [the Shechinah of] my God is not within me did these evils happen to me.’’

And now write for yourselves this song [praise] and teach it to Bnei Yisroel to place it in their mouths; in order that this song [praise] will be for [before] Me a witness against Bnei Yisroel.
