1
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.
2
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.
3
At
the
noise
of
the
tumult
the
people
fled;
at
the
lifting
up
of
thyself
the
nations
were
scattered.
4
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.
5
The
LORD
is
exalted;
for
he
dwelleth
on
high:
he
hath
filled
Zion
with
judgment
and
righteousness.
6
And
wisdom
and
knowledge
shall
be
the
stability
of
thy
times,
[and]
strength
of
salvation:
the
fear
of
the
LORD
[is]
his
treasure.
7
Behold,
their
valiant
ones
shall
cry
without:
the
ambassadors
of
peace
shall
weep
bitterly.
8
The
highways
lie
waste,
the
wayfaring
man
ceaseth:
he
hath
broken
the
covenant,
he
hath
despised
the
cities,
he
regardeth
no
man.
9
The
earth
mourneth
[and]
languisheth:
Lebanon
is
ashamed
[and]
hewn
down:
Sharon
is
like
a
wilderness;
and
Bashan
and
Carmel
shake
off
[their
fruits].
10
Now
will
I
rise,
saith
the
LORD;
now
will
I
be
exalted;
now
will
I
lift
up
myself.
11
Ye
shall
conceive
chaff,
ye
shall
bring
forth
stubble:
your
breath,
[as]
fire,
shall
devour
you.
12
And
the
people
shall
be
[as]
the
burnings
of
lime:
[as]
thorns
cut
up
shall
they
be
burned
in
the
fire.
13
Hear,
ye
[that
are]
far
off,
what
I
have
done;
and,
ye
[that
are]
near,
acknowledge
my
might.
14
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?
15
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;
16
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.
17
Thine
eyes
shall
see
the
king
in
his
beauty:
they
shall
behold
the
land
that
is
very
far
off.
18
Thine
heart
shall
meditate
terror.
Where
[is]
the
scribe?
where
[is]
the
receiver?
where
[is]
he
that
counted
the
towers?
19
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.
20
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.
21
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.
22
For
the
LORD
[is]
our
judge,
the
LORD
[is]
our
lawgiver,
the
LORD
[is]
our
king;
he
will
save
23
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.
24
And
the
inhabitant
shall
not
say,
I
am
sick:
the
people
that
dwell
therein
[shall
be]
forgiven
[their]
iniquity.
