1Woe to the city of oppressors, rebellious 1 and defiled 2!
2She obeys no one, she accepts no correction. She does not trust in the Lord , she does not draw near to her God.
3Her officials are roaring lions, her rulers are evening wolves, who leave nothing for the morning.
4Her prophets are arrogant 3; they are treacherous 4 men. Her priests profane 5 the sanctuary 6 and do violence to the law.
5The Lord within her is righteous; he does no wrong. Morning by morning he dispenses 7 his justice, and every new day he does not fail, yet the unrighteous know no shame.
6"I have cut off nations; their strongholds are demolished 8. I have left their streets deserted 9, with no one passing through. Their cities are destroyed; no one will be left-no one at all.
7I said to the city, 'Surely you will fear me and accept correction!' Then her dwelling 10 would not be cut off, nor all my punishments come upon her. But they were still eager to act corruptly 11 in all they did.
8Therefore wait for me," declares the Lord , "for the day I will stand up to testify. I have decided 12 to assemble the nations, to gather the kingdoms and to pour out my wrath 13 on them- all my fierce anger. The whole world will be consumed by the fire of my jealous anger.
9"Then will I purify the lips of the peoples, that all of them may call on the name of the Lord and serve him shoulder to shoulder.
10From beyond the rivers of Cush my worshipers, my scattered 14 people, will bring me offerings.
11On that day you will not be put to shame for all the wrongs you have done to me, because I will remove from this city those who rejoice in their pride. Never again will you be haughty 15 on my holy hill.
12But I will leave within you the meek 16 and humble 17, who trust in the name of the Lord .
13The remnant of Israel will do no wrong; they will speak no lies, nor will deceit be found in their mouths. They will eat and lie down and no one will make them afraid."
14Sing, O Daughter of Zion; shout aloud, O Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, O Daughter of Jerusalem!
15The Lord has taken away your punishment, he has turned back your enemy. The Lord , the King of Israel, is with you; never again will you fear any harm.
16On that day they will say to Jerusalem, "Do not fear, O Zion; do not let your hands hang limp.
17The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty 18 to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing."
18"The sorrows for the appointed feasts I will remove from you; they are a burden and a reproach to you.
19At that time I will deal with all who oppressed you; I will rescue the lame 19 and gather those who have been scattered. I will give them praise and honor in every land where they were put to shame.
20At that time I will gather you; at that time I will bring you home. I will give you honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth when I restore your fortunes before your very eyes," says the Lord
