chapter 3
1
Woe to
the provoking, and redeemed city, the dove.
2 She hath not hearkened to the voice, neither hath she
received discipline: she hath not trusted in the Lord, she drew not near to her
God.
3 Her princes are in the midst of her as roaring lions:
her judges are evening wolves, they left nothing for the morning.
4 Her prophets are senseless men without faith: her
priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have acted unjustly against the law.
5 The just Lord is in the midst thereof, he will not do
iniquity: in the morning, in the morning he will bring his judgment to light,
and it shall not be hid: but the wicked man hath not known shame.
6 I have destroyed the nations, and their towers are
beaten down: I have made their ways desert, so that there is none that passeth
by: their cities are desolate, there is not a man remaining, nor any
inhabitant.
7 I said: Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive
correction: and her dwelling shall not perish, for all things wherein I have
visited her: but they rose early and corrupted all their thoughts.
8 Wherefore expect me, saith the Lord, in the day of my
resurrection that is to come, for my judgment is to assemble the Gentiles, and
to gather the kingdoms: and to pour upon them my indignation, all my fierce
anger: for with the fire of my jealousy shall all the earth be devoured.
9 Because then I will restore to the people a chosen
lip, that all may call upon the name of the Lord, and may serve him with one
shoulder.
10 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, shall my
suppliants the children of my dispersed people bring me an offering.
11 In that day thou shalt 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 thy proud boasters, and thou shalt no more be lifted
up because of my holy mountain.
12 And I will leave in the midst of thee a poor and
needy people: and they shall hope in the name of the Lord.
13 The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor
speak lies, nor shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they
shall feed, and shall lie down, and there shall be none to make them afraid.
14 Give praise, O daughter of Sion: shout, O Israel: be
glad, and rejoice with all thy heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
15 The Lord hath taken away thy judgment, he hath
turned away thy enemies: the king of Israel the Lord is in the midst of thee,
thou shalt fear evil no more.
16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: Fear not:
to Sion: Let not thy hands be weakened.
17 The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty, he
will save: he will rejoice over thee with gladness, he will be silent in his
love, he will be joyful over thee in praise.
18 The triflers that were departed from the law, I will
gather together, because they were of thee: that thou mayest no more suffer
reproach for them.
19 Behold I will cut off all that have afflicted thee
at that time: and I will save her that halteth, and will gather her that was
cast out: and I will get them praise, and a name, in all the land where they
had been put to confusion.
20 At that time, when I will bring you: and at the time
that I will gather you: for I will give you a name, and praise among all the
people of the earth, when I shall have brought back your captivity before your
eyes, saith the Lord.
