Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou [wast] not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee!
Jehovah, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
At the noise of the tumult the peoples fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.
And your spoil shall be gathered [like] the gathering of the caterpillar: as the running of locusts shall they run upon them.
Jehovah is exalted, for he dwelleth on high; he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
And the riches of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times: the fear of Jehovah [shall be] his treasure.
Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without; the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.
The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth. He hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.
The land mourneth, it languisheth; Lebanon is ashamed, is withered; the Sharon is become as a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel are stripped.
Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.
Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble; your breath [as] fire shall devour you,
and the peoples shall be [as] the burnings of lime; [as] thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
Hear, ye [that are] far off, what I have done; and ye [that are] near, acknowledge my might.
The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from taking hold of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil:
he shall dwell on high, his high retreat [shall be] the fortresses of the rocks; bread shall be given him; his waters [shall be] sure.
Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold a far stretching land.
Thy heart shall muse on the terror: where [is] he that counted, where [is] he that weighed [the tribute]? where [is] he that counted the towers?
Thou shalt no more see the fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive, of a stammering tongue that cannot be understood.
Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent [that] shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be plucked up, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
But there Jehovah [will be] with us in majesty, a place of rivers, of broad streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
For Jehovah [is] our judge, Jehovah [is] our lawgiver, Jehovah [is] our King; he will save us.
Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not strengthen the socket of their mast; they could not spread the sail: then was the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame took the prey.
And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick; the people that dwell therein [shall be] forgiven [their] iniquity.
