| 3:1 | Woe <01945> to her that is filthy <04754> (8802) and polluted <01351> (8737), to the oppressing <03238> (8802) city <05892>! {her...: or, gluttonous: Heb. craw} |
| 3:2 | She obeyed <08085> (8804) not the voice <06963>; she received <03947> (8804) not correction <04148>; she trusted <0982> (8804) not in the LORD <03068>; she drew not near <07126> (8804) to her God <0430>. {correction: or, instruction} |
| 3:3 | Her princes <08269> within <07130> her [are] roaring <07580> (8802) lions <0738>; her judges <08199> (8802) [are] evening <06153> wolves <02061>; they gnaw not the bones <01633> (8804) till the morrow <01242>. |
| 3:4 | Her prophets <05030> [are] light <06348> (8802) [and] treacherous <0900> persons <0582>: her priests <03548> have polluted <02490> (8765) the sanctuary <06944>, they have done violence <02554> (8804) to the law <08451>. |
| 3:5 | The just <06662> LORD <03068> [is] in the midst <07130> thereof; he will not do <06213> (8799) iniquity <05766>: every <01242> morning <01242> doth he bring <05414> (8799) his judgment <04941> to light <0216>, he faileth <05737> (8738) not; but the unjust <05767> knoweth <03045> (8802) no shame <01322>. {every...: Heb. morning by morning} |
| 3:6 | I have cut off <03772> (8689) the nations <01471>: their towers <06438> are desolate <08074> (8738); I made their streets <02351> waste <02717> (8689), that none passeth by <05674> (8802): their cities <05892> are destroyed <06658> (8738), so that there is no man <0376>, that there is none inhabitant <03427> (8802). {towers: or, corners} |
| 3:7 | I said <0559> (8804), Surely thou wilt fear <03372> (8799) me, thou wilt receive <03947> (8799) instruction <04148>; so their dwelling <04583> should not be cut off <03772> (8735), howsoever <0834> <03605> I punished <06485> (8804) them: but <0403> they rose early <07925> (8689), [and] corrupted <07843> (8689) all their doings <05949>. |
| 3:8 | Therefore wait <02442> (8761) ye upon me, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, until the day <03117> that I rise up <06965> (8800) to the prey <05706>: for my determination <04941> [is] to gather <0622> (8800) the nations <01471>, that I may assemble <06908> (8800) the kingdoms <04467>, to pour <08210> (8800) upon them mine indignation <02195>, [even] all my fierce <02740> anger <0639>: for all the earth <0776> shall be devoured <0398> (8735) with the fire <0784> of my jealousy <07068>. |
| 3:9 | For then will I turn <02015> (8799) to the people <05971> a pure <01305> (8803) language <08193>, that they may all call <07121> (8800) upon the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>, to serve <05647> (8800) him with one <0259> consent <07926>. {language: Heb. lip} {consent: Heb. shoulder} |
| 3:10 | From beyond <05676> the rivers <05104> of Ethiopia <03568> my suppliants <06282>, [even] the daughter <01323> of my dispersed <06327> (8803), shall bring <02986> (8686) mine offering <04503>. |
| 3:11 | In that day <03117> shalt thou not be ashamed <0954> (8799) for all thy doings <05949>, wherein thou hast transgressed <06586> (8804) against me: for then I will take away <05493> (8686) out of the midst <07130> of thee them that rejoice <05947> in thy pride <01346>, and thou shalt no more <03254> (8686) be haughty <01361> (8800) because of my holy <06944> mountain <02022>. {because...: Heb. in my holy} |
| 3:12 | I will also leave <07604> (8689) in the midst <07130> of thee an afflicted <06041> and poor <01800> people <05971>, and they shall trust <02620> (8804) in the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>. |
| 3:13 | The remnant <07611> of Israel <03478> shall not do <06213> (8799) iniquity <05766>, nor speak <01696> (8762) lies <03577>; neither shall a deceitful <08649> tongue <03956> be found <04672> (8735) in their mouth <06310>: for they shall feed <07462> (8799) and lie down <07257> (8804), and none shall make [them] afraid <02729> (8688). |
| 3:14 | Sing <07442> (8798), O daughter <01323> of Zion <06726>; shout <07321> (8685), O Israel <03478>; be glad <08055> (8798) and rejoice <05937> (8798) with all the heart <03820>, O daughter <01323> of Jerusalem <03389>. |
| 3:15 | The LORD <03068> hath taken away <05493> (8689) thy judgments <04941>, he hath cast out <06437> (8765) thine enemy <0341> (8802): the king <04428> of Israel <03478>, [even] the LORD <03068>, [is] in the midst <07130> of thee: thou shalt not see <07200> (8799) evil <07451> any more. |
| 3:16 | In that day <03117> it shall be said <0559> (8735) to Jerusalem <03389>, Fear <03372> (8799) thou not: [and to] Zion <06726>, Let not thine hands <03027> be slack <07503> (8799). {slack: or, faint} |
| 3:17 | The LORD <03068> thy God <0430> in the midst <07130> of thee [is] mighty <01368>; he will save <03467> (8686), he will rejoice <07797> (8799) over thee with joy <08057>; he will rest <02790> (8686) in his love <0160>, he will joy <01523> (8799) over thee with singing <07440>. {rest: Heb. be silent} |
| 3:18 | I will gather <0622> (8804) [them that are] sorrowful <03013> (8737) for the solemn assembly <04150>, [who] are of thee, [to whom] the reproach <02781> of it [was] a burden <04864>. {reproach...: Heb. the burden upon it was reproach} |
| 3:19 | Behold, at that time <06256> I will undo <06213> (8802) all that afflict <06031> (8764) thee: and I will save <03467> (8689) her that halteth <06760> (8802), and gather <06908> (8762) her that was driven out <05080> (8737); and I will get <07760> (8804) them praise <08416> and fame <08034> in every land <0776> where they have been put to shame <01322>. {get...: Heb. set them for a praise} {where...: Heb. of their shame} |
| 3:20 | At that time <06256> will I bring <0935> (8686) you [again], even in the time <06256> that I gather <06908> (8763) you: for I will make <05414> (8799) you a name <08034> and a praise <08416> among all people <05971> of the earth <0776>, when I turn back <07725> (8800) your captivity <07622> before your eyes <05869>, saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>. |
