7 cry out in the streets;
the envoys of peace weep bitterly.
8The highways are deserted;
travelers have quit the road.
The treaty is broken;
its oaths are despised,
the people are disregarded.
9The land mourns and languishes;
Lebanon is confounded and withers away;
Sharon is like a desert,
and Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.
10“Now I will arise,” says the Lord,
“now I will lift myself up;
now I will be exalted.
11You conceive chaff; you bring forth stubble;
wind like a fire will consume you.
12And the peoples will be as if burned to lime,
like thorns cut down that are burned in the fire.”
13Hear, you who are far away, what I have done,
and you who are near, acknowledge my might.
14The sinners in Zion are afraid;
trembling has seized the godless:
“Who among us can live with the devouring fire?
Who among us can live with everlasting flames?”

who despise the gain of oppression,
who wave away a bribe instead of accepting it,
who stop their ears from hearing of bloodshed
and shut their eyes from looking on evil,
16they will live on the heights;
their refuge will be the fortresses of rocks;
their food will be supplied, their water assured.
The Land of the Majestic King17Your eyes will see the king in his beauty;
they will behold a land that stretches far away.

and the lame will take plunder.
24 Jer 30.17; 50.20 And no inhabitant will say, “I am sick”;
the people who live there will be forgiven their iniquity.
