5 For I, saith [05002] the LORD [03068], will be unto her a wall [02346] of fire [0784] round about [05439], and will be the glory [03519] in the midst [08432] of her.
23 Truly [0403] in vain [08267] is salvation hoped for from the hills [01389], and from the multitude [01995] of mountains [02022]: truly [0403] in the LORD [03068] our God [0430] is the salvation [08668] of Israel [03478].
18 Violence [02555] shall no more be heard [08085] in thy land [0776], wasting [07701] nor destruction [07667] within thy borders [01366]; but thou shalt call [07121] thy walls [02346] Salvation [03444], and thy gates [08179] Praise [08416].

11 He that is unjust [91], let him be unjust [91] still [2089]: and [2532] he which is filthy [4510], let him be filthy [4510] still [2089]: and [2532] he that is righteous [1342], let him be righteous [1344] still [2089]: and [2532] he that is holy [40], let him be holy [37] still [2089].
12 And [2532], behold [2400], I come [2064] quickly [5035]; and [2532] my [3450] reward [3408] is with [3326] me [1700], to give [591] every man [1538] according as [5613] his [846] work [2041] shall be [2071].

12 LORD [03068], thou wilt ordain [08239] peace [07965] for us: for thou also hast wrought [06466] all our works [04639] in us.

14 They are dead [04191], they shall not live [02421]; they are deceased [07496], they shall not rise [06965]: therefore hast thou visited [06485] and destroyed [08045] them, and made all their memory [02143] to perish [06].
4 Trust [0982] ye in the LORD [03068] for ever [05703]: for in the LORD [03050] JEHOVAH [03068] is everlasting [05769] strength [06697]:
5 For he bringeth down [07817] them that dwell [03427] on high [04791]; the lofty [07682] city [07151], he layeth it low [08213]; he layeth it low [08213], even to the ground [0776]; he bringeth [05060] it even to the dust [06083].
6 The foot [07272] shall tread it down [07429], even the feet [07272] of the poor [06041], and the steps [06471] of the needy [01800].

23 Truly [0403] in vain [08267] is salvation hoped for from the hills [01389], and from the multitude [01995] of mountains [02022]: truly [0403] in the LORD [03068] our God [0430] is the salvation [08668] of Israel [03478].
18 Violence [02555] shall no more be heard [08085] in thy land [0776], wasting [07701] nor destruction [07667] within thy borders [01366]; but thou shalt call [07121] thy walls [02346] Salvation [03444], and thy gates [08179] Praise [08416].
2 O my God [0430], I trust [0982] in thee: let me not be ashamed [0954], let not mine enemies [0341] triumph [05970] over me.
6 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] unto the king's [04428] house [01004] of Judah [03063]; Thou art Gilead [01568] unto me, and the head [07218] of Lebanon [03844]: yet surely I will make [07896] thee a wilderness [04057], and cities [05892] which are not inhabited [03427] [03427].
7 They go [03212] from strength [02428] to strength [02428], every one of them in Zion [06726] appeareth [07200] before God [0430].
7 For the king [04428] trusteth [0982] in the LORD [03068], and through the mercy [02617] of the most High [05945] he shall not be moved [04131].
6 And I will lay [07896] it waste [01326]: it shall not be pruned [02168], nor digged [05737]; but there shall come up [05927] briers [08068] and thorns [07898]: I will also command [06680] the clouds [05645] that they rain [04305] no rain [04306] upon it.
9 For, behold, I will shake [05130] mine hand [03027] upon them, and they shall be a spoil [07998] to their servants [05647]: and ye shall know [03045] that the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] hath sent [07971] me.
18 Violence [02555] shall no more be heard [08085] in thy land [0776], wasting [07701] nor destruction [07667] within thy borders [01366]; but thou shalt call [07121] thy walls [02346] Salvation [03444], and thy gates [08179] Praise [08416].
8 The LORD [03068] hath purposed [02803] to destroy [07843] the wall [02346] of the daughter [01323] of Zion [06726]: he hath stretched out [05186] a line [06957], he hath not withdrawn [07725] his hand [03027] from destroying [01104]: therefore he made the rampart [02426] and the wall [02346] to lament [056]; they languished [0535] together [03162].
19 He loveth [0157] transgression [06588] that loveth [0157] strife [04683]: and he that exalteth [01361] his gate [06607] seeketh [01245] destruction [07667].
1 O LORD [03068], thou art my God [0430]; I will exalt [07311] thee, I will praise [03034] thy name [08034]; for thou hast done [06213] wonderful [06382] things; thy counsels [06098] of old [07350] are faithfulness [0530] and truth [0544].
2 For thou hast made [07760] of a city [05892] an heap [01530]; of a defenced [01219] city [07151] a ruin [04654]: a palace [0759] of strangers [02114] to be no city [05892]; it shall never [05769] be built [01129].
3 Therefore shall the strong [05794] people [05971] glorify [03513] thee, the city [07151] of the terrible [06184] nations [01471] shall fear [03372] thee.
4 For thou hast been a strength [04581] to the poor [01800], a strength [04581] to the needy [034] in his distress [06862], a refuge [04268] from the storm [02230], a shadow [06738] from the heat [02721], when the blast [07307] of the terrible ones [06184] is as a storm [02230] against the wall [07023].
5 Thou shalt bring down [03665] the noise [07588] of strangers [02114], as the heat [02721] in a dry place [06724]; even the heat [02721] with the shadow [06738] of a cloud [05645]: the branch [02159] of the terrible ones [06184] shall be brought low [06030].
6 And in this mountain [02022] shall the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] make [06213] unto all people [05971] a feast [04960] of fat things [08081], a feast [04960] of wines on the lees [08105], of fat things [08081] full of marrow [04229], of wines on the lees [08105] well refined [02212].
7 And he will destroy [01104] in this mountain [02022] the face [06440] of the covering [03875] cast over [03874] all people [05971], and the vail [04541] that is spread [05259] over all nations [01471].
8 He will swallow up [01104] death [04194] in victory [05331]; and the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] will wipe away [04229] tears [01832] from off all faces [06440]; and the rebuke [02781] of his people [05971] shall he take away [05493] from off all the earth [0776]: for the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696] it.
9 And it shall be said [0559] in that day [03117], Lo, this is our God [0430]; we have waited [06960] for him, and he will save [03467] us: this is the LORD [03068]; we have waited [06960] for him, we will be glad [01523] and rejoice [08055] in his salvation [03444].
10 For in this mountain [02022] shall the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] rest [05117], and Moab [04124] shall be trodden down [01758] under him, even as straw [04963] is trodden down [01758] for the dunghill [01119] [04087] [04325].
11 And he shall spread forth [06566] his hands [03027] in the midst [07130] of them, as he that swimmeth [07811] spreadeth forth [06566] his hands to swim [07811]: and he shall bring down [08213] their pride [01346] together with the spoils [0698] of their hands [03027].
12 And the fortress [04013] of the high fort [04869] of thy walls [02346] shall he bring down [07817], lay low [08213], and bring [05060] to the ground [0776], even to the dust [06083].
