WoeH1945 to her that is filthyH4754 and polluted,H1351 to the oppressingH3238 city!H5892
2
She obeyedH8085 not the voice;H6963 she receivedH3947 not correction;H4148 she trustedH982 not in the LORD;H3068 she drew not nearH7126 to her God.H430
3
Her princesH8269 withinH7130 her are roaringH7580 lions;H738 her judgesH8199 are eveningH6153 wolves;H2061 they gnawH1633 not the bonesH1633 till the morrow.H1242
4
Her prophetsH5030 are lightH6348 and treacherousH900 persons:H582 her priestsH3548 have pollutedH2490 the sanctuary,H6944 they have done violenceH2554 to the law.H8451
5
The justH6662 LORDH3068 is in the middleH7130 thereof; he will not doH6213 iniquity:H5766 every morningH1242 does he bringH5414 his judgmentH4941 to light,H216 he failsH5737 not; but the unjustH5767 knowsH3045 noH3808 shame.H1322
6
I have cutH3772 off the nations:H1471 their towersH6438 are desolate;H8074 I made their streetsH2351 waste,H2717 that noneH1097 passesH5674 by: their citiesH5892 are destroyed,H6658 so that there is noH1097 man,H376 that there is noneH369 inhabitant.H3427
7
I said,H559 SurelyH389 you will fearH3372 me, you will receiveH3947 instruction;H4148 so their dwellingH4583 should not be cutH3772 off, howsoeverH3605 H834 I punishedH6485 them: but they roseH7925 early,H7925 and corruptedH7843 allH3605 their doings.H5949
8
ThereforeH3651 waitH2442 you on me, saidH5002 the LORD,H3068 until the dayH3117 that I riseH6965 up to the prey:H5706 for my determinationH4941 is to gatherH622 the nations,H1471 that I may assembleH6908 the kingdoms,H4467 to pourH8210 on them my indignation,H2195 even allH3605 my fierceH2740 anger:H639 for allH3605 the earthH776 shall be devouredH398 with the fireH784 of my jealousy.H7068
9
For thenH227 will I turnH2015 to the peopleH5971 a pureH1305 language,H8193 that they may allH3605 callH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LORD,H3068 to serveH5647 him with oneH259 consent.H7926
10
From beyondH5676 the riversH5104 of EthiopiaH3568 my suppliants,H6282 even the daughterH1323 of my dispersed,H6327 shall bringH2986 my offering.H4503
11
In that dayH3117 shall you not be ashamedH954 for allH3605 your doings,H5949 whereinH834 you have transgressedH6586 against me: for thenH227 I will takeH5493 awayH5493 out of the middleH7130 of you them that rejoiceH5947 in your pride,H1346 and you shall noH3808 moreH3254 H5750 be haughtyH1361 because of my holyH6944 mountain.H2022
12
I will also leaveH7604 in the middleH7130 of you an afflictedH6041 and poorH1800 people,H5971 and they shall trustH2620 in the nameH8034 of the LORD.H3068
13
The remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478 shall not doH6213 iniquity,H5766 norH3808 speakH1696 lies;H3576 neitherH3808 shall a deceitfulH8649 tongueH3956 be foundH4672 in their mouth:H6310 for they shall feedH7462 and lieH7257 down,H4769 and noneH369 shall make them afraid.H2729
14
Sing,H7442 O daughterH1323 of Zion;H6726 shout,H7321 O Israel;H3478 be gladH8056 and rejoiceH5937 with allH3605 the heart,H3820 O daughterH1323 of Jerusalem.H3389
15
The LORDH3068 has takenH5493 awayH5493 your judgments,H4941 he has castH6437 out your enemy:H341 the kingH4428 of Israel,H3478 even the LORD,H3068 is in the middleH7130 of you: you shall not seeH7200 evilH7451 any more.H5750
16
In that dayH3117 it shall be saidH559 to Jerusalem,H3389 FearH3372 you not: and to Zion,H6726 Let not your handsH3027 be slack.H7503
17
The LORDH3068 your GodH430 in the middleH7130 of you is mighty;H1368 he will save,H3467 he will rejoiceH7797 overH5921 you with joy;H8057 he will restH2790 in his love,H160 he will joyH1523 overH5921 you with singing.H7440
18
I will gatherH622 them that are sorrowfulH3013 for the solemnH4150 assembly,H4150 who are of you, to whomH5921 the reproachH2781 of it was a burden.H4864
19
Behold,H2005 at that timeH6256 I will undoH6213 allH3605 that afflictH6031 you: and I will saveH3467 her that halts,H6761 and gatherH6908 her that was drivenH5080 out; and I will getH7760 them praiseH8416 and fameH8034 in everyH3605 landH776 where they have been put to shame.H1322
20
At that timeH6256 will I bringH935 you again, even in the timeH6256 that I gatherH6908 you: for I will makeH5414 you a nameH8034 and a praiseH8416 among allH3605 peopleH5971 of the earth,H776 when I turnH7725 backH7725 your captivityH7622 before your eyes,H5869 saidH559 the LORD.H3068
