36:002:015 This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly,
that said in
her
heart, I am, and there is none beside me: how
is she
become
a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every
one
that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand.
36:003:001 Woe to her that is filthy and polluted,
to the oppressing
city!
36:003:002 She obeyed not the voice; she received
not correction; she
trusted
not in the lord; she drew not near to her God.
36:003:003 Her princes within her are roaring lions;
her judges are
evening
wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.
36:003:004 Her prophets are light and treacherous
persons: her priests
have
polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to
the
law.
36:003:005 The just lord is in the midst thereof;
he will not do
iniquity:
every morning doth he bring his judgment to light,
he
faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.
36:003:006 I have cut off the nations: their
towers are desolate; I made
their
streets waste, that none passeth by: their cities
are
destroyed,
so that there is no man, that there is none
inhabitant.
36:003:007 I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou
wilt receive
instruction;
so their dwelling should not be cut off,
howsoever
I punished them: but they rose early, and corrupted
all
their doings.
36:003:008 Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the lord,
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
mine
indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all
the earth
shall
be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
36:003:009 For then will I turn to the people a pure
language, that they
may
all call upon the name of the lord, to serve him
with one
consent.
36:003:010 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants,
even the
daughter
of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.
36:003:011 In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for
all thy doings,
wherein
thou hast transgressed against me: for then I
will
take
away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in
thy
pride,
and thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy
mountain.
36:003:012 I will also leave in the midst of thee
an afflicted and poor
people,
and they shall trust in the name of the lord.
36:003:013 The remnant of Israel 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.
