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.
