King James Version
Woe to you
, O
destroyer
never
destroyed
, O
traitor
never
betrayed
! When you
have
finished
destroying
, you
will
be destroyed.
When you
have
finished
betraying
, you
will
be
betrayed
.
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;
and
when thou
shalt
make
an
end
to
deal
treacherously
, they
shall
deal
treacherously
with
thee
.
O LORD, be gracious to
us !
We wait
for You.

strength
every morning and
our salvation in time of trouble.
O LORD, be gracious unto
us ;
we have
waited
for thee:
be thou
their
arm
every morning ,
our salvation also
in the
time of trouble.
The
peoples
flee
the thunder
of Your
voice
; the nations scatter
when
You
rise
.
At
the noise
of the
tumult
the
people
fled
; at
the lifting
up
of
thyself
the
nations were
scattered
.
Your spoil ,
O
nations,
is
gathered as
by
locusts;
like a
swarm
of locusts men
sweep
over
it
.
And
your spoil shall
be
gathered like the
gathering
of the
caterpiller:
as
the
running
to
and
fro
of
locusts shall
he
run
upon
them
.
The LORD is exalted ,
for He dwells
on high ;
He has
filled Zion with justice
and righteousness.
The LORD is exalted ;
for he dwelleth
on high :
he hath
filled Zion with judgment
and righteousness.
He
will
be the sure
foundation
for
your
times, a
storehouse
of salvation ,
wisdom,
and
knowledge.
The fear of the LORD is Zion’s
treasure.
And
wisdom
and
knowledge
shall
be the stability
of
thy
times, and
strength
of salvation :
the fear of the LORD is his
treasure.

in
the
streets;
the envoys
of peace weep bitterly.

cry without:
the ambassadors
of peace shall
weep bitterly.

deserted;
travel
has
ceased.
The treaty
has
been
broken ,
the witnesses
are
despised, and
human
life
is
disregarded
.
The highways lie
waste,
the wayfaring
man
ceaseth:
he
hath
broken the covenant,
he
hath
despised the
cities
, he
regardeth
no
man
.

mourns
and languishes;

mourneth
and languisheth:
Lebanon is ashamed and hewn
down:
Sharon is like a wilderness
; and
Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits
.

Now I
will arise
, ”
says
the LORD .
“
Now I
will lift
Myself
up.
Now
I will
be exalted.
Now will I
rise
, saith
the LORD ;

will
I
lift
up
myself
.
You
conceive chaff ;
you
give
birth
to
stubble .
Your breath is
a
fire that
will
consume
you.
Ye
shall
conceive chaff ,
ye
shall
bring
forth
stubble :
your breath ,
as
fire ,
shall
devour
you.
The peoples
will
be burned
to
ashes,
like
thorns cut down
and
set
ablaze
.
And
the people
shall
be as
the
burnings
of
lime:
as
thorns cut up
shall
they
be
burned
in
the
fire
.
You
who
are far off, hear
what I have done; you
who
are near, acknowledge My might. ”

ye
that
are far off, what I have done; and,
ye
that
are near, acknowledge my might.
The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling
grips
the ungodly:
“
Who of
us can
dwell with a
consuming
fire? Who of
us can
dwell with everlasting flames
? ”
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 who
walks
righteously and
speaks
with
sincerity
, who
refuses
gain from
extortion
, whose
hand
never
takes
a
bribe
, who
stops
his ears against
murderous
plots
and shuts
his eyes tightly
against
evil —
He that
walketh
righteously, and
speaketh
uprightly;
he
that
despiseth
the
gain of
oppressions
, that
shaketh
his
hands
from
holding
of
bribes
, that
stoppeth
his ears from
hearing
of
blood,
and shutteth
his eyes from
seeing
evil ;
he will
dwell on the
heights;
the mountain
fortress
will
be his
refuge
; his food
will
be provided
and
his
water
assured
.
He shall
dwell on high:
his
place
of
defence
shall
be
the munitions
of
rocks:
bread
shall
be given
him
; his waters
shall
be sure
.
Your
eyes will
see the King in His beauty and
behold a
land that stretches
afar
.
Thine
eyes shall
see the king in his beauty :
they
shall
behold the
land that is
very
far
off
.
Your
mind
will
ponder
the
former
terror :
“
Where is he
who
tallies
? Where is he
who
weighs
? Where is he who
counts
the towers? ”
Thine
heart
shall
meditate
terror .
Where is the
scribe
? where is the
receiver
? where is he that
counted
the towers?
You
will
no
longer
see the
insolent
, a people whose
speech is
unintelligible,
who
stammer
in
a language
you
cannot
understand.
Thou
shalt
not
see a
fierce
people
, a people of
a
deeper
speech than
thou
canst
perceive;
of
a stammering
tongue,
that
thou
canst
not
understand.
Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed
feasts.
Your
eyes will
see Jerusalem ,
a peaceful
pasture
, a tent
that does
not wander
; its
tent
pegs
will
not be pulled
up
, nor
will
any of its
cords be broken.
Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities:
thine
eyes shall
see Jerusalem a quiet
habitation
, a tabernacle
that shall
not be
taken
down
; not one
of
the
stakes
thereof
shall
ever
be removed
, neither
shall
any of the
cords thereof
be broken.
But there the Majestic
One,
our
LORD ,
will be for
us a place of rivers and wide
canals,
where
no galley with oars will
row
, and
no
majestic
vessel
will
pass.
But there the glorious
LORD will be unto
us a place of broad
rivers and streams;
wherein
shall
go
no galley with oars, neither
shall
gallant
ship
pass thereby
.
For the LORD is our Judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our King .
It
is
He who
will save us.
For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king ;
he will save us.
Your
ropes
are slack
; they cannot
secure
the
mast or
spread the sail .
Then an
abundance
of spoils
will
be
divided ,
and
even
the lame will
carry
off
plunder
.
Thy
tacklings
are loosed
; they could
not
well
strengthen
their
mast ,
they
could
not
spread the sail :
then is
the
prey
of a
great
spoil
divided ;
the lame take
the
prey
.
And no
resident
of
Zion
will
say, “
I am sick .”
The people who
dwell there
will
be forgiven of
iniquity.
And the
inhabitant
shall
not
say, I am sick :
the people that
dwell therein
shall
be forgiven their
iniquity.
