1 Woe to you that spoil, and you [were] not spoiled; and deal treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with you! when you will cease to spoil, you will be spoiled; [and] when you will make an end to deal treacherously, they will deal treacherously with you. 2 O LORD [Yahweh], be gracious to us; we have waited for you: be you 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 yourself the nations were scattered. 4 And your spoil will be gathered [like] the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts will he run upon them. 5 The LORD [Yahweh] is exalted; for he dwells on high: he has filled Zion with judgment and righteousness. 6 And wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, [and] strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD [Yahweh] [is] his treasure. 7 Behold, their valiant ones will cry without: the ambassadors of peace will weep bitterly. 8 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceases: he has broken the covenant, he has despised the cities, he regards no man. 9 The earth mourns [and] languishes: Lebanon is ashamed [and] hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off [their fruits]. 10 Now will I rise, says the LORD [Yahweh]; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself. 11 You will conceive chaff, you will bring forth stubble: your breath, [as] fire, will devour you. 12 And the people will be [as] the burnings of lime: [as] thorns cut up will they be burned in the fire. 13 Hear, you [that are] far off, what I have done; and, you [that are] near, acknowledge my might. 14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness has surprised the hypocrites. Who among us will dwell with the devouring fire? who among us will dwell with everlasting burnings? 15 He that walks righteously, and speaks uprightly; he that despises the gain of oppressions, that shakes his hands from holding of bribes, that stops his ears from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from seeing evil; 16 He will dwell on high: his place of defence [will be] the munitions of rocks: bread will be given him; his waters [will be] sure. 17 Your eyes will see the king in his beauty: they will behold the land that is very far off. 18 Your heart will meditate terror. Where [is] the scribe? where [is] the receiver? where [is] he that counted the towers? 19 You will not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than you can perceive; of a stammering tongue, [that you can] not understand. 20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: your eyes will see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle [that] will not be taken down; not one of the stakes of it will ever be removed, neither will any of the cords of it be broken. 21 But there the glorious LORD [Yahweh] [will be] to us a place of broad rivers [and] streams; in which will go no galley with oars, neither will gallant ship pass by it. 22 For the LORD [Yahweh] [is] our judge, the LORD [Yahweh] [is] our lawgiver, the LORD [Yahweh] [is] our king; he will save us. 23 Your 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 will not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein [will be] forgiven [their] iniquity.
