1WoeH1945 1to you, O destroyerH7703, While you were not destroyedH7703; And he 2who is treacherousH898, while others did not dealH898 treacherouslyH898 with him. As soon as you finishH8552 destroyingH7703, 3you will be destroyedH7703; As soon as you ceaseH5239 to dealH898 treacherouslyH898, others will 4dealH898 treacherouslyH898 with you.2O LordH3068, 5be graciousH2603 to us; we have 6waitedH6960 for You. Be 7their 8 9strengthH2220 every morningH1242, Our salvationH3444 alsoH637 in the 10timeH6256 of distressH6869.3At the soundH6963 of the tumultH1995 11peoplesH5971 fleeH5074; At the 12liftingH7427 up of Yourself nationsH1471 disperseH5310.4Your spoilH7998 is gatheredH622 as the caterpillarH2625 gathersH625; As locustsH1361 rushingH4944 aboutH4944 men rushH8264 aboutH8264 on it.5The LordH3068 is 13exaltedH7682, for He dwellsH7931 on highH4791; He has 14filledH4390 ZionH6726 with justiceH4941 and righteousnessH6666.6And He will be the 15 16stabilityH530 of your timesH6256, A 17wealthH2633 of salvationH3444, wisdomH2451 and 18knowledgeH1847; The 19fearH3374 of the LordH3068 is his treasureH214.7BeholdH2005, their braveH691 menH691 cryH6817 in 20the streetsH2351, The 21 22ambassadorsH4397 of peaceH7965 weepH1058 bitterlyH4751.8The highwaysH4546 are desolateH8074, 23the 24travelerH5674 has ceasedH7673, He has 25brokenH6565 the covenantH1285, he has despisedH3988 the citiesH5892, He has noH3808 regardH2803 for manH582.9 26The landH776 mournsH56 and pinesH535 awayH535, 27LebanonH3844 is shamedH2659 and withersH7060; 28SharonH8289 is like a desertH6160 plainH6160, And BashanH1316 and CarmelH3760 29loseH5287 their foliage.10“NowH6258 30I will ariseH6965,” saysH559 the LordH3068, “NowH6258 I will be exaltedH7426, nowH6258 I will be liftedH5375 up.11You have 31conceivedH2029 32chaffH2842, you will giveH3205 birthH3205 to stubbleH7179; 33My 34breathH7307 will consumeH398 you like a fireH784.12The peoplesH5971 will be burnedH4955 to limeH7875, 35Like cutH3683 thornsH6975 which are burnedH3341 in the fireH784.

13“You whoH7350 are farH7350 awayH7350, 36hearH8085 whatH834 I have doneH6213; And you whoH7138 are nearH7138, 37acknowledgeH3045 My mightH1369.”14 38SinnersH2400 in ZionH6726 are terrifiedH6342; 39TremblingH7461 has seizedH270 the godlessH2611. “WhoH4310 among us can liveH1481 with 40the consumingH398 fireH784? WhoH4310 among us can liveH1481 with 41continualH5769 42burningH4168?”
