1 Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!

2 She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); she drew not near to her God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].

3 Her princes within her [are] roaring lions; her [are] evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.

4 Her prophets [are] light [and] treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.

5 The just LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [is] in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning does he bring his judgment to light, he fails not; but the unjust knows no shame.

6 I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate; I made their streets waste, that none passes by: their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant.

7 I said, Surely youi will fear me, youi will receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I punished them: but they rose early, [and] corrupted all their doings.

8 Therefore wait you2f upon me, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination [is] to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them my indignation, [even] all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.

9 For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), to serve him with one consent.

10 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia [Kush] my worshippers, [even] the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring my offering.

11 In that day shall youi not be ashamed for all youri doings, wherein youi have transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of youi them that rejoice in youri pride, and youi shall no more be arrogant (proud; lifted up) because of my holy mountain.

12 I will also leave in the midst of youi an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

13 The remnant of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make [them] afraid.

14 Sing, O daughter of Tziyon [parched place]; shout, O Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].

15 The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has taken away youri judgments, he has cast out youri enemy: the king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], [even] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), [is] in the midst of youi: youi shall not see evil any more.

16 In that day it shall be said to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], Fear youi not: [and to] Tziyon [parched place], Let not youi hands be slack.

17 The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] in the midst of youi [is] mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over youi with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over youi with singing.

18 I will gather [them that are] sorrowful for the solemn assembly, [who] are of youi, [to whom] the reproach (disgrace; shame) of it [was] a burden.

19 Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict youi: and I will save her that is lame, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.

20 At that time will I bring you [again], even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
