Hear the word of the LORD ,
You who tremble at His word : "
Your brethren who hated you ,
Who cast you out for My name '
s sake ,
said , "
Let the LORD be glorified ,
That we may see your joy .'
But they shall be ashamed ."
*
The sound of noise from the city !
A voice from the temple !
The voice of the LORD ,
Who fully repays His enemies !
* "
Before she was in labor ,
she gave birth ;
Before her pain came ,
She delivered a male child .
*
Who has heard such a thing ?
Who has seen such things ?
Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day ?
Or shall a nation be born at once ?
For as soon as Zion was in labor ,
She gave birth to her children .
*
Shall I bring to the time of birth ,
and not cause delivery ?"
says the LORD . "
Shall I who cause delivery shut up the womb ?"
says your God .
* "
Rejoice with Jerusalem ,
And be glad with her ,
all you who love her ;
Rejoice for joy with her ,
all you who mourn for her ;
*
That you may feed and be satisfied With the consolation of her bosom ,
That you may drink deeply and be delighted With the abundance of her glory ."
*
For thus says the LORD : "
Behold ,
I will extend peace to her like a river ,
And the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream .
Then you shall feed ;
On her sides shall you be carried ,
And be dandled on her knees .
*
As one whom his mother comforts ,
So I will comfort you ;
And you shall be comforted in Jerusalem ."
*
When you see this ,
your heart shall rejoice ,
And your bones shall flourish like grass ;
The hand of the LORD shall be known to His servants ,
And His indignation to His enemies .
*
For behold ,
the LORD will come with fire And with His chariots ,
like a whirlwind ,
To render His anger with fury ,
And His rebuke with flames of fire .
*
For by fire and by His sword The LORD will judge all flesh ;
And the slain of the LORD shall be many .
* "
Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves ,
To go to the gardens After an idol in the midst ,
Eating swine '
s flesh and the abomination and the mouse ,
Shall be consumed together ,"
says the LORD .
