Dual Panel1Woe <01945> to her that is filthy <04754> (8802) and polluted <01351> (8737)_, to the oppressing <03238> (8802) city <05892>_! {her...: or, gluttonous: Heb. craw}
2She obeyed <08085> (8804) not the voice <06963>_; she received <03947> (8804) not correction <04148>_; she trusted <0982> (8804) not in the LORD <03068>_; she drew not near <07126> (8804) to her God <0430>_. {correction: or, instruction}
3Her princes <08269> within <07130> her [are] roaring <07580> (8802) lions <0738>_; her judges <08199> (8802) [are] evening <06153> wolves <02061>_; they gnaw not the bones <01633> (8804) till the morrow <01242>_.
4Her prophets <05030> [are] light <06348> (8802) [and] treacherous <0900> persons <0582>_: her priests <03548> have polluted <02490> (8765) the sanctuary <06944>_, they have done violence <02554> (8804) to the law <08451>_.
5The just <06662> LORD <03068> [is] in the midst <07130> thereof; he will not do <06213> (8799) iniquity <05766>_: every <01242> morning <01242> doth he bring <05414> (8799) his judgment <04941> to light <0216>_, he faileth <05737> (8738) not; but the unjust <05767> knoweth <03045> (8802) no shame <01322>_. {every...: Heb. morning by morning}
6I have cut off <03772> (8689) the nations <01471>_: their towers <06438> are desolate <08074> (8738)_; I made their streets <02351> waste <02717> (8689)_, that none passeth by <05674> (8802)_: their cities <05892> are destroyed <06658> (8738)_, so that there is no man <0376>_, that there is none inhabitant <03427> (8802)_. {towers: or, corners}
7I said <0559> (8804)_, Surely thou wilt fear <03372> (8799) me, thou wilt receive <03947> (8799) instruction <04148>_; so their dwelling <04583> should not be cut off <03772> (8735)_, howsoever <0834> <03605> I punished <06485> (8804) them: but <0403> they rose early <07925> (8689)_, [and] corrupted <07843> (8689) all their doings <05949>_.
8Therefore wait <02442> (8761) ye upon me, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>_, until the day <03117> that I rise up <06965> (8800) to the prey <05706>_: for my determination <04941> [is] to gather <0622> (8800) the nations <01471>_, that I may assemble <06908> (8800) the kingdoms <04467>_, to pour <08210> (8800) upon them mine indignation <02195>_, [even] all my fierce <02740> anger <0639>_: for all the earth <0776> shall be devoured <0398> (8735) with the fire <0784> of my jealousy <07068>_.
9For then will I turn <02015> (8799) to the people <05971> a pure <01305> (8803) language <08193>_, that they may all call <07121> (8800) upon the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>_, to serve <05647> (8800) him with one <0259> consent <07926>_. {language: Heb. lip} {consent: Heb. shoulder}
10From beyond <05676> the rivers <05104> of Ethiopia <03568> my suppliants <06282>_, [even] the daughter <01323> of my dispersed <06327> (8803)_, shall bring <02986> (8686) mine offering <04503>_.
11In that day <03117> shalt thou not be ashamed <0954> (8799) for all thy doings <05949>_, wherein thou hast transgressed <06586> (8804) against me: for then I will take away <05493> (8686) out of the midst <07130> of thee them that rejoice <05947> in thy pride <01346>_, and thou shalt no more <03254> (8686) be haughty <01361> (8800) because of my holy <06944> mountain <02022>_. {because...: Heb. in my holy}
12I will also leave <07604> (8689) in the midst <07130> of thee an afflicted <06041> and poor <01800> people <05971>_, and they shall trust <02620> (8804) in the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>_.
13The remnant <07611> of Israel <03478> shall not do <06213> (8799) iniquity <05766>_, nor speak <01696> (8762) lies <03577>_; neither shall a deceitful <08649> tongue <03956> be found <04672> (8735) in their mouth <06310>_: for they shall feed <07462> (8799) and lie down <07257> (8804)_, and none shall make [them] afraid <02729> (8688)_.
14Sing <07442> (8798)_, O daughter <01323> of Zion <06726>_; shout <07321> (8685)_, O Israel <03478>_; be glad <08055> (8798) and rejoice <05937> (8798) with all the heart <03820>_, O daughter <01323> of Jerusalem <03389>_.
15The LORD <03068> hath taken away <05493> (8689) thy judgments <04941>_, he hath cast out <06437> (8765) thine enemy <0341> (8802)_: the king <04428> of Israel <03478>_, [even] the LORD <03068>_, [is] in the midst <07130> of thee: thou shalt not see <07200> (8799) evil <07451> any more.
16In that day <03117> it shall be said <0559> (8735) to Jerusalem <03389>_, Fear <03372> (8799) thou not: [and to] Zion <06726>_, Let not thine hands <03027> be slack <07503> (8799)_. {slack: or, faint}
17The LORD <03068> thy God <0430> in the midst <07130> of thee [is] mighty <01368>_; he will save <03467> (8686)_, he will rejoice <07797> (8799) over thee with joy <08057>_; he will rest <02790> (8686) in his love <0160>_, he will joy <01523> (8799) over thee with singing <07440>_. {rest: Heb. be silent}
18I will gather <0622> (8804) [them that are] sorrowful <03013> (8737) for the solemn assembly <04150>_, [who] are of thee, [to whom] the reproach <02781> of it [was] a burden <04864>_. {reproach...: Heb. the burden upon it was reproach}
19Behold, at that time <06256> I will undo <06213> (8802) all that afflict <06031> (8764) thee: and I will save <03467> (8689) her that halteth <06760> (8802)_, and gather <06908> (8762) her that was driven out <05080> (8737)_; and I will get <07760> (8804) them praise <08416> and fame <08034> in every land <0776> where they have been put to shame <01322>_. {get...: Heb. set them for a praise} {where...: Heb. of their shame}
20At that time <06256> will I bring <0935> (8686) you [again], even in the time <06256> that I gather <06908> (8763) you: for I will make <05414> (8799) you a name <08034> and a praise <08416> among all people <05971> of the earth <0776>_, when I turn back <07725> (8800) your captivity <07622> before your eyes <05869>_, saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>_.
