Wherefore thus
saith the Holy
One of
Israel, Because ye
despise this
word, and
trust in
oppression and
perverseness, and
stay thereon:

Therefore this
iniquity shall be to you as a
breach ready to
fall, swelling
out in a
high wall, whose
breaking cometh suddenly at an
instant.

And he shall
break it as the
breaking of the
potters'
vessel that is broken in
pieces; he shall not
spare: so that there shall not be
found in the
bursting of it a
sherd to
take fire from the
hearth, or to
take water withal out of the
pit.

For thus
saith the
Lord GOD, the Holy
One of
Israel; In
returning and
rest shall ye be
saved; in
quietness and in
confidence shall be your
strength: and ye
would not.

But ye
said, No; for we will
flee upon
horses; therefore shall ye
flee: and, We will
ride upon the
swift; therefore shall they that
pursue you be
swift.

One thousand shall flee
at the
rebuke of
one; at the
rebuke of
five shall ye
flee: till ye be
left as a
beacon upon the
top of a
mountain, and as an
ensign on an
hill.

And therefore will the
LORD wait, that he may be
gracious unto you, and therefore will he be
exalted, that he may have
mercy upon you: for the
LORD is a
God of
judgment: blessed are all they that
wait for him.

For the
people shall
dwell in
Zion at
Jerusalem: thou shalt
weep no
more: he will be
very gracious unto thee at the
voice of thy
cry; when he shall
hear it, he will
answer thee.

And though the
Lord give you the
bread of
adversity, and the
water of
affliction, yet shall not thy
teachers be removed into a
corner any more, but thine
eyes shall
see thy
teachers:

Ye shall

gold: thou shalt cast them
away as a menstruous
cloth; thou shalt
say unto it, Get thee
