[1]WoeH1945 to her that is filthyH4754[H8802] and pollutedH1351[H8737], to the oppressingH3238[H8802] cityH5892!
[2]She obeyedH8085[H8804] not the voiceH6963; she receivedH3947[H8804] not correctionH4148; she trustedH982[H8804] not in the LORDH3068; she drew not nearH7126[H8804] to her GodH430.
[3]Her princesH8269 withinH7130 her are roaringH7580[H8802] lionsH738; her judgesH8199[H8802] are eveningH6153 wolvesH2061; they gnaw not the bonesH1633[H8804] till the morrowH1242.
[4]Her prophetsH5030 are lightH6348[H8802] and treacherousH900 personsH582: her priestsH3548 have pollutedH2490[H8765] the sanctuaryH6944, they have done violenceH2554[H8804] to the lawH8451.
[5]The justH6662 LORDH3068 is in the midstH7130 thereof; he will not doH6213[H8799] iniquityH5766: everyH1242 morningH1242 doth he bringH5414[H8799] his judgmentH4941 to lightH216, he failethH5737[H8738] not; but the unjustH5767 knowethH3045[H8802] no shameH1322.
[6]I have cut offH3772[H8689] the nationsH1471: their towersH6438 are desolateH8074[H8738]; I made their streetsH2351 wasteH2717[H8689], that none passeth byH5674[H8802]: their citiesH5892 are destroyedH6658[H8738], so that there is no manH376, that there is none inhabitantH3427.[H8802]
[7]I saidH559[H8804], Surely thou wilt fearH3372[H8799] me, thou wilt receiveH3947[H8799] instructionH4148; so their dwellingH4583 should not be cut offH3772[H8735], howsoeverH834[H3605] I punishedH6485[H8804] them: butH403 they rose earlyH7925[H8689], and corruptedH7843[H8689] all their doingsH5949.
[8]Therefore waitH2442[H8761] ye upon me, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, until the dayH3117 that I rise upH6965[H8800] to the preyH5706: for my determinationH4941 is to gatherH622[H8800] the nationsH1471, that I may assembleH6908[H8800] the kingdomsH4467, to pourH8210[H8800] upon them mine indignationH2195, even all my fierceH2740 angerH639: for all the earthH776 shall be devouredH398[H8735] with the fireH784 of my jealousyH7068.
[9]For then will I turnH2015[H8799] to the peopleH5971 a pureH1305[H8803] languageH8193, that they may all callH7121[H8800] upon the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, to serveH5647[H8800] him with oneH259 consentH7926.
[10]From beyondH5676 the riversH5104 of EthiopiaH3568 my suppliantsH6282, even the daughterH1323 of my dispersedH6327[H8803], shall bringH2986[H8686] mine offeringH4503.
[11]In that dayH3117 shalt thou not be ashamedH954[H8799] for all thy doingsH5949, wherein thou hast transgressedH6586[H8804] against me: for then I will take awayH5493[H8686] out of the midstH7130 of thee them that rejoiceH5947 in thy prideH1346, and thou shalt no moreH3254[H8686] be haughtyH1361[H8800] because of my holyH6944 mountainH2022.
[12]I will also leaveH7604[H8689] in the midstH7130 of thee an afflictedH6041 and poorH1800 peopleH5971, and they shall trustH2620[H8804] in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.
[13]The remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478 shall not doH6213[H8799] iniquityH5766, nor speakH1696[H8762] liesH3577; neither shall a deceitfulH8649 tongueH3956 be foundH4672[H8735] in their mouthH6310: for they shall feedH7462[H8799] and lie downH7257[H8804], and none shall make them afraidH2729.[H8688]
[14]SingH7442[H8798], O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726; shoutH7321[H8685], O IsraelH3478; be gladH8055[H8798] and rejoiceH5937[H8798] with all the heartH3820, O daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389.
[15]The LORDH3068 hath taken awayH5493[H8689] thy judgmentsH4941, he hath cast outH6437[H8765] thine enemyH341[H8802]: the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, even the LORDH3068, is in the midstH7130 of thee: thou shalt not seeH7200[H8799] evil any moreH7451.
[16]In that dayH3117 it shall be saidH559[H8735] to JerusalemH3389, FearH3372[H8799] thou not: and to ZionH6726, Let not thine handsH3027 be slackH7503.[H8799]
[17]The LORDH3068 thy GodH430 in the midstH7130 of thee is mightyH1368; he will saveH3467[H8686], he will rejoiceH7797[H8799] over thee with joyH8057; he will restH2790[H8686] in his loveH160, he will joyH1523[H8799] over thee with singingH7440.
[18]I will gatherH622[H8804] them that are sorrowfulH3013[H8737] for the solemn assemblyH4150, who are of thee, to whom the reproachH2781 of it was a burdenH4864.
[19]Behold, at that timeH6256 I will undoH6213[H8802] all that afflictH6031[H8764] thee: and I will saveH3467[H8689] her that haltethH6760[H8802], and gatherH6908[H8762] her that was driven outH5080[H8737]; and I will getH7760[H8804] them praiseH8416 and fameH8034 in every landH776 where they have been put to shameH1322.
[20]At that timeH6256 will I bringH935[H8686] you again, even in the timeH6256 that I gatherH6908[H8763] you: for I will makeH5414[H8799] you a nameH8034 and a praiseH8416 among all peopleH5971 of the earthH776, when I turn backH7725[H8800] your captivityH7622 before your eyesH5869, saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068.
