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.

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.
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.
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 * #ste
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 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.
