a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off
their fruits.
10
Now will I rise, saith the L
ORD
; 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 L
ORD
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 L
ORD
is
our judge, the L
ORD
is
our lawgiver, the L
ORD
is
our
king; he will save us.
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.
CHAPTER 34
Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein;
the world, and all things that come forth of it.
2
For the indignation of the L
ORD
is
upon all nations,
and
his
fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the
slaughter.
3
Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases,
and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
4
And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved,
and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf
falleth off from the vine, and as a falling
fig
from the fig tree.
5
For my sword shall be bathed in
heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.
6
The sword of the L
ORD
is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness,
and
with the blood of lambs
and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the L
ORD
hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great
slaughter in the land of Idumea.
7
And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks
with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
