Woe
to her that is filthy
and polluted,
to the oppressing
city!
She obeyed
not the voice;
she received
not correction;
she trusted
not in the LORD;
she drew not near
to her God.
Her princes
within
her are roaring
lions;
her judges
are evening
wolves;
they gnaw not the bones
till the morrow.
Her prophets
are light
and treacherous
persons:
her priests
have polluted
the sanctuary,
they have done violence
to the law.
The just
LORD
is in the midst
thereof; he will not do
iniquity:
every
morning
doth he bring
his judgment
to light,
he faileth
not; but the unjust
knoweth
no shame.

I have cut off
the nations:
their towers
are desolate;
I made their streets
waste,
that none passeth by:
their cities
are destroyed,
so that there is no man,
that there is none inhabitant.

Surely thou wilt fear

so their dwelling
should not be cut off,
howsoever
I punished
them: but
they rose early,
and corrupted
all their doings.

Therefore wait
ye upon me, saith
the LORD,
until the day
that I rise up
to the prey:
for my determination
is to gather
the nations,
that I may assemble
the kingdoms,
to pour
upon them mine indignation,
even all my fierce
anger:
for all the earth
shall be devoured
with the fire
of my jealousy.
For then will I turn
to the people
a pure
language,
that they may all call
upon the name
of the LORD,
to serve
him with one
consent.
From beyond
the rivers
of Ethiopia
my suppliants,
even the daughter
of my dispersed,
shall bring
mine offering.
In that day
shalt thou not be ashamed
for all thy doings,
wherein thou hast transgressed
against me: for then I will take away
out of the midst
of thee them that rejoice
in thy pride,
and thou shalt no more
be haughty
because of my holy
mountain.

in the midst

and they shall trust
in the name
of the LORD.
The remnant

shall not do
iniquity,
nor speak
lies;
neither shall a deceitful
tongue
be found
in their mouth:
for they shall feed
and lie down,
and none shall make them afraid.

The LORD
hath taken away
thy judgments,
he hath cast out
thine enemy:
the king
of Israel,
even the LORD,
is in the midst
of thee: thou shalt not see
evil
any more.
In that day
it shall be said
to Jerusalem,
Fear
thou not: and to Zion,
Let not thine hands
be slack.
The LORD
thy God
in the midst
of thee is mighty;
he will save,
he will rejoice
over thee with joy;
he will rest
in his love,
he will joy
over thee with singing.

I will gather
them that are sorrowful
for the solemn assembly,
who are of thee, to whom the reproach
of it was a burden.
Behold, at that time
I will undo
all that afflict
thee: and I will save
her that halteth,
and gather
her that was driven out;
and I will get
them praise
and fame
in every land
where they have been put to shame.

when I turn back
your captivity
before your eyes,

the LORD.
