Woe to this rebellious, polluted, and oppressive city.

She does not obey commands, does not receive instruction, does not trust in the Lord, does not approach her God.

Her leader in the middle is a roaring lion. Her judge is a jackal at night, leaving no food until morning.

Her prophet is a vain and deceitful person. Her priests desecrate the sanctuary and enforce the law.

The Lord is righteous among her, and will never do anything unjust. He will reveal his righteousness every morning, and it will never be the same. Just unjust people don’t know shame.

I, the Lord, have destroyed the people of all nations. Their city tower was destroyed. I made their streets desolate so that no one passed by. Their cities were destroyed, leaving no one and no inhabitants.

I say, only fear me and receive instruction. So, your dwelling will not be destroyed according to my plan. But since you woke up early, you have corrupted yourself in everything.

Wait for me, O Lord, until the day when I rise up to plunder, for I have determined to gather the nations, gather the nations, and pour out my anger, even my fierceness, on them. My anger is like fire, it will consume the whole earth.

At that time, I will bring clean words to all people, so that they may call on the name of the Lord and serve me with one heart and one mind.

Those who pray to me, the women whom I have scattered, will offer me offerings from outside the river Cush.

On that day, you will not be ashamed of all your sins against me. For at that time I will remove from among you those who are proud and proud, and you will no longer be arrogant in my holy mountain.

But I will leave behind the poor and impoverished people among you. They will take refuge in the name of the Lord.

The remaining people of Israel will not do iniquity, will not speak lies, and will not have deceitful tongues in their mouths. And eat, drink, lie down, no one is frightened.

Sing, O people of Zion. Israel, let us rejoice. O people of Jerusalem, let your heart be filled with joy and joy.

The Lord has removed your punishment and driven out your enemies. The Lord of Israel is among you, and you will no longer fear disaster.

On that day, something will say to Jerusalem, “Do not be afraid.”. Zion, do not be weak.

The Lord your God is a savior with great power. He will rejoice and rejoice in you, love you silently, and rejoice in you.

I will gather those who belong to you and have no great sorrow, because you bear shame.

At that time, I will punish all those who have mistreated you and save those who are lame. Gather the ones you were kicked out of. I will give praise and fame to those who are humiliated throughout the land.

At that time, I will bring you in and gather you. When I bring back your captives, I will give you a reputation and praise among the peoples of the earth. This is what the Lord has said.
