Webster_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H1945 Woe H4754 [H8802] to her that is filthy H1351 [H8737] and polluted H3238 [H8802] , to the oppressing H5892 city!

2 H8085 [H8804] She obeyed H6963 not the voice H3947 [H8804] ; she received H4148 not correction H982 [H8804] ; she trusted H3068 not in the LORD H7126 [H8804] ; she drew not near H430 to her God.

3 H8269 Her princes H7130 within H7580 [H8802] her are roaring H738 lions H8199 [H8802] ; her judges H6153 are evening H2061 wolves H1633 [H8804] ; they gnaw not the bones H1242 till the next morning.

4 H5030 Her prophets H6348 [H8802] are light H900 and treacherous H582 persons H3548 : her priests H2490 [H8765] have polluted H6944 the sanctuary H2554 [H8804] , they have done violence H8451 to the law.

5 H6662 The just H3068 LORD H7130 is in the midst H6213 [H8799] of her; he will not do H5766 iniquity H1242 : every H1242 morning H5414 [H8799] doth he bring H4941 his judgment H216 to light H5737 [H8738] , he faileth H5767 not; but the unjust H3045 [H8802] knoweth H1322 no shame.

6 H3772 [H8689] I have cut off H1471 the nations H6438 : their towers H8074 [H8738] are desolate H2351 ; I made their streets H2717 [H8689] waste H5674 [H8802] , that none passeth by H5892 : their cities H6658 [H8738] are destroyed H376 , so that there is no man H3427 [H8802] , that there is no inhabitant.

7 H559 [H8804] I said H3372 [H8799] , Surely thou wilt fear H3947 [H8799] me, thou wilt receive H4148 instruction H4583 ; so their dwelling H3772 [H8735] should not be cut off H834 H3605 , however H6485 [H8804] I punished H403 them: but H7925 [H8689] they rose early H7843 [H8689] , and corrupted H5949 all their doings.

8 H2442 [H8761] Therefore wait H5002 [H8803] ye upon me, saith H3068 the LORD H3117 , until the day H6965 [H8800] that I rise up H5706 to the prey H4941 : for my determination H622 [H8800] is to gather H1471 the nations H6908 [H8800] , that I may assemble H4467 the kingdoms H8210 [H8800] , to pour H2195 upon them my indignation H2740 , even all my fierce H639 anger H776 : for all the earth H398 [H8735] shall be devoured H784 with the fire H7068 of my jealousy.

9 H2015 [H8799] For then will I turn H5971 to the people H1305 [H8803] a pure H8193 language H7121 [H8800] , that they may all call H8034 upon the name H3068 of the LORD H5647 [H8800] , to serve H259 him with one H7926 consent.

10 H5676 From beyond H5104 the rivers H3568 of Cush H6282 my suppliants H1323 , even the daughter H6327 [H8803] of my dispersed H2986 [H8686] , shall bring H4503 my offering.

11 H3117 In that day H954 [H8799] shalt thou not be ashamed H5949 for all thy doings H6586 [H8804] , when thou hast transgressed H5493 [H8686] against me: for then I will take away H7130 out of the midst H5947 of thee them that rejoice H1346 in thy pride H3254 [H8686] , and thou shalt no more H1361 [H8800] be haughty H6944 in my holy H2022 mountain.

12 H7604 [H8689] I will also leave H7130 in the midst H6041 of thee an afflicted H1800 and poor H5971 people H2620 [H8804] , and they shall trust H8034 in the name H3068 of the LORD.

13 H7611 The remnant H3478 of Israel H6213 [H8799] shall not do H5766 iniquity H1696 [H8762] , nor speak H3577 lies H8649 ; neither shall a deceitful H3956 tongue H4672 [H8735] be found H6310 in their mouth H7462 [H8799] : for they shall feed H7257 [H8804] and lie down H2729 [H8688] , and none shall make them afraid.

14 H7442 [H8798] Sing H1323 , O daughter H6726 of Zion H7321 [H8685] ; shout H3478 , O Israel H8055 [H8798] ; be glad H5937 [H8798] and rejoice H3820 with all the heart H1323 , O daughter H3389 of Jerusalem.

15 H3068 The LORD H5493 [H8689] hath taken away H4941 thy judgments H6437 [H8765] , he hath cast out H341 [H8802] thy enemy H4428 : the king H3478 of Israel H3068 , even the LORD H7130 , is in the midst H7200 [H8799] of thee: thou shalt not see H7451 evil any more.

16 H3117 In that day H559 [H8735] it shall be said H3389 to Jerusalem H3372 [H8799] , Fear H6726 thou not: and to Zion H3027 , Let not thy hands H7503 [H8799] be slack.

17 H3068 The LORD H430 thy God H7130 in the midst H1368 of thee is mighty H3467 [H8686] ; he will save H7797 [H8799] , he will rejoice H8057 over thee with joy H2790 [H8686] ; he will rest H160 in his love H1523 [H8799] , he will joy H7440 over thee with singing.

18 H622 [H8804] I will gather H3013 [H8737] them that are sorrowful H4150 for the solemn assembly H2781 , who are of thee, to whom the reproach H4864 of it was a burden.

19 H6256 Behold, at that time H6213 [H8802] I will undo H6031 [H8764] all that afflict H3467 [H8689] thee: and I will save H6760 [H8802] her that is lame H6908 [H8762] , and gather H5080 [H8737] her that was driven out H7760 [H8804] ; and I will get H8416 them praise H8034 and fame H776 in every land H1322 where they have been put to shame.

20 H6256 At that time H935 [H8686] will I bring H6256 you again, even in the time H6908 [H8763] that I gather H5414 [H8799] you: for I will make H8034 you a name H8416 and a praise H5971 among all people H776 of the earth H7725 [H8800] , when I turn back H7622 your captivity H5869 before your eyes H559 [H8804] , saith H3068 the LORD.
