Dual Panel1Woe<1945> to her who is rebellious<4784> and defiled<1351>, The tyrannical<3238> city<5892>!
2She heeded<8085> no<3808> voice<6963>, She accepted<3947> no<3808> instruction<4148>. She did not trust<982> in the LORD<3068>, She did not draw<7126> near<7126> to her God<430>.
3Her princes<8269> within<7130> her are roaring<7580> lions<738>, Her judges<8199> are wolves<2061> at evening<6153>; They leave<1633> nothing<3808> for the morning<1242>.
4Her prophets<5030> are reckless<6348>, treacherous<900> men<376>; Her priests<3548> have profaned<2490> the sanctuary<6944>. They have done<2554> violence<2554> to the law<8451>.
5The LORD<3068> is righteous<6662> within<7130> her; He will do<6213> no<3808> injustice<5767>. Every<1242> morning<1242> He brings<5414> His justice<4941> to light<216>; He does not fail<5737>. But the unjust<5767> knows<3045> no<3808> shame<1322>.
6"I have cut<3772> off<3772> nations<1471>; Their corner<6438> towers<6438> are in ruins<8074>. I have made<2717> their streets<2351> desolate<2717>, With no<1097> one<1097> passing<5674> by; Their cities<5892> are laid<6658> waste<6658>, Without<4480><1097> a man<376>, without<4480><369> an inhabitant<3427>.
7"I said<559>, 'Surely<389> you will revere<3372> Me, Accept<3947> instruction<4148>.' So her dwelling<4583> will not be cut<3772> off<3772> According to all<3605> that I have appointed<6485> concerning<5921> her. But they were eager<7925> to corrupt<7843> all<3605> their deeds<5949>.
8"Therefore<3651> wait<2442> for Me," declares<5002> the LORD<3068>, "For the day<3117> when I rise<6965> up as a witness<5707>. Indeed<3588>, My decision<4941> is to gather<622> nations<1471>, To assemble<6908> kingdoms<4467>, To pour<8210> out on them My indignation<2195>, All<3605> My burning<2740> anger<639>; For all<3605> the earth<776> will be devoured<398> By the fire<784> of My zeal<7068>.
9"For then<227> I will give<2015> to the peoples<5971> purified<1305> lips<8193>, That all<3605> of them may call<7121> on the name<8034> of the LORD<3068>, To serve<5647> Him shoulder<7926> to shoulder<7926>.
10"From beyond<5676> the rivers<5104> of Ethiopia<3568> My worshipers<6282>, My dispersed<1323><6327> ones, Will bring<2986> My offerings<4503>.
11"In that day<3117> you will feel<954> no<3808> shame<954> Because<4480> of all<3605> your deeds<5949> By which<834> you have rebelled<6586> against Me; For then<227> I will remove<5493> from your midst<7130> Your proud<1346>, exulting<5947> ones<5947>, And you will never<3808><5750> again<3254> be haughty<1361> On My holy<6944> mountain<2022>.
12"But I will leave<7604> among<7130> you A humble<6041> and lowly<1800> people<5971>, And they will take<2620> refuge<2620> in the name<8034> of the LORD<3068>.
13"The remnant<7611> of Israel<3478> will do<6213> no<3808> wrong<5767> And tell<1696> no<3808> lies<3577>, Nor<3808> will a deceitful<8649> tongue<3956> Be found<4672> in their mouths<6310>; For they will feed<7462> and lie<7257> down<7257> With no<369> one<369> to make them tremble<2729>."
14Shout<7442> for joy<7442>, O daughter<1323> of Zion<6726>! Shout<7321> in triumph, O Israel<3478>! Rejoice<8055> and exult<5937> with all<3605> your heart<3820>, O daughter<1323> of Jerusalem<3389>!
15The LORD<3068> has taken<5493> away<5493> His judgments<4941> against you, He has cleared<6437> away<6437> your enemies<340>. The King<4428> of Israel<3478>, the LORD<3068>, is in your midst<7130>; You will fear<3372> disaster<7451> no<3808> more<5750>.
16In that day<3117> it will be said<559> to Jerusalem<3389>: "Do not be afraid<3372>, O Zion<6726>; Do not let your hands<3027> fall<7503> limp<7503>.
17"The LORD<3068> your God<430> is in your midst<7130>, A victorious<3467> warrior<1368>. He will exult<7797> over<5921> you with joy<8057>, He will be quiet<2790> in His love<160>, He will rejoice<1523> over<5921> you with shouts<7440> of joy<7440>.
18"I will gather<622> those who grieve<3013> about<4480> the appointed<4150> feasts<4150>-- They came<1961> from you, O Zion; The reproach<2781> of exile is a burden<4864> on them.
19"Behold<2009>, I am going to deal<6213> at that time<6256> With all<3605> your oppressors<6031>, I will save<3467> the lame<6760> And gather<6908> the outcast<5080>, And I will turn<7760> their shame<1322> into praise<8416> and renown<8034> In all<3605> the earth<776>.
20"At that time<6256> I will bring<935> you in, Even at the time<6256> when I gather<6908> you together; Indeed<3588>, I will give<5414> you renown<8034> and praise<8416> Among all<3605> the peoples<5971> of the earth<776>, When I restore<7725> your fortunes<7622> before your eyes<5869>," Says<559> the LORD<3068>.
