CHAP. III.
1 A sharpe reproofe of Ierusalem for diuers sinnes. 8 An exhortation to wait for the restauration of Israel: 14 and to reioyce for their saluation by God.
1Woe to her that is filthie and polluted, to the oppressing citie.1
2She obeyed not the voice: she receiued not correction: she trusted not in the Lord: she drew not neere to her God.2
3Her princes within her are roaring lyons; her Iudges are euening wolues, they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.3
4Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests haue polluted the Sanctuarie, they haue done violence to the Law.4
5The iust Lord is in the middest thereof: he will not doe iniquitie: euery morning doeth hee bring his iudgement to light, he faileth not: but the vniust knoweth no shame.5
6I haue cut off the nations: their towres are desolate, I made their streetes waste, that none passeth by: their cities are destroied, so that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant.6
8¶ Therefore waite ye vpon mee, sayth the Lord, vntill the day that I rise vp to the pray: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdomes to powre vpon them mine indignation, euen all my fierce anger: for all the earth shalbe deuoured with the fire of my iealousie.8
9For then will I turne to the people a pure language, that they may all call vpon the Name of the Lord, to serue him with one consent.9
11In that day shalt thou 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 them that reioyce in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty because of mine holy mountaine.11
14¶ Sing, O daughter of Zion: shout, O Israel: be glad and reioyce with all the heart, O daughter of Ierusalem.14
16In that day it shall be said to Ierusalem, Feare thou not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slacke.16
17The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mightie: hee will saue, he will reioyce ouer thee with ioy: hee will rest in his loue, hee will ioy ouer thee with singing.17
18I will gather them that are sorrowfull for the solemne assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproch of it was a burden.18
19Behold, at that time I will vndoe all that afflict thee, and I will saue her that halteth, and gather her that was driuen out, and I will get them praise and fame in euery land, where they haue beene put to shame.19
