3:1 ¶ Woe 1945 to her that is filthy y4754 z8802 x4784 and polluted, 1351 z8737 to the oppressing 3238 z8802 city! 5892

3:2 She obeyed 8085 z8804 not x3808 the voice; 6963 she received 3947 z8804 not x3808 correction; 4148 she trusted 982 z8804 not x3808 in the LORD; 3068 she drew not near 7126 z8804 x3808 to x413 her God. 430

3:3 Her princes 8269 within 7130 her [are] roaring 7580 z8802 lions; 738 her judges 8199 z8802 [are] evening 6153 wolves; 2061 they gnaw not the bones 1633 z8804 x3808 till the morrow. 1242

3:4 Her prophets 5030 [are] light 6348 z8802 [and] treacherous 900 persons: y582 x376 her priests 3548 have polluted 2490 z8765 the sanctuary, 6944 they have done violence 2554 z8804 to the law. 8451

3:5 The just 6662 LORD 3068 [is] in the midst 7130 thereof; he will not x3808 do 6213 z8799 iniquity: 5766 every y1242 morning 1242 doth he bring 5414 z8799 his judgment 4941 to light, 216 he faileth 5737 z8738 not; x3808 but the unjust 5767 knoweth 3045 z8802 no x3808 shame. 1322

3:6 I have cut off 3772 z8689 the nations: 1471 their towers 6438 are desolate; 8074 z8738 I made their streets y2351 waste, 2717 z8689 x2351 that none x4480 x1097 passeth by: 5674 z8802 their cities 5892 are destroyed, 6658 z8738 so that there is no x4480 x1097 man, 376 that there is none x4480 x369 inhabitant. 3427 z8802

3:7 I said, 559 z8804 Surely x389 thou wilt fear 3372 z8799 me, thou wilt receive 3947 z8799 instruction; 4148 so their dwelling 4583 should not x3808 be cut off, 3772 z8735 howsoever 834 3605 I punished 6485 z8804 x5921 them: but 403 they rose early, 7925 z8689 [and] corrupted 7843 z8689 all x3605 their doings. 5949

3:8 ¶ Therefore x3651 wait 2442 z8761 ye upon me, saith 5002 z8803 the LORD, 3068 until the day 3117 that I rise up 6965 z8800 to the prey: 5706 for x3588 my determination 4941 [is] to gather 622 z8800 the nations, 1471 that I may assemble 6908 z8800 the kingdoms, 4467 to pour 8210 z8800 upon x5921 them mine indignation, 2195 [even] all x3605 my fierce 2740 anger: 639 for x3588 all x3605 the earth 776 shall be devoured 398 z8735 with the fire 784 of my jealousy. 7068

3:9 For x3588 then x227 will I turn 2015 z8799 to x413 the people 5971 a pure 1305 z8803 language, 8193 that they may all x3605 call 7121 z8800 upon the name 8034 of the LORD, 3068 to serve 5647 z8800 him with one 259 consent. 7926

3:10 From beyond 5676 x4480 the rivers 5104 of Ethiopia 3568 my suppliants, 6282 [even] the daughter 1323 of my dispersed, 6327 z8803 shall bring 2986 z8686 mine offering. 4503

3:11 In that x1931 day 3117 shalt thou not x3808 be ashamed 954 z8799 for all x4480 x3605 thy doings, 5949 wherein x834 thou hast transgressed 6586 z8804 against me: for x3588 then x227 I will take away 5493 z8686 out of the midst 7130 x4480 of thee them that rejoice 5947 in thy pride, 1346 and thou shalt no x3808 more 3254 z8686 x5750 be haughty 1361 z8800 because of my holy 6944 mountain. 2022

3:12 I will also leave 7604 z8689 in the midst 7130 of thee an afflicted 6041 and poor 1800 people, 5971 and they shall trust 2620 z8804 in the name 8034 of the LORD. 3068

3:13 The remnant 7611 of Israel 3478 shall not x3808 do 6213 z8799 iniquity, 5766 nor x3808 speak 1696 z8762 lies; 3577 neither x3808 shall a deceitful 8649 tongue 3956 be found 4672 z8735 in their mouth: 6310 for x3588 they x1992 shall feed 7462 z8799 and lie down, 7257 z8804 and none x369 shall make [them] afraid. 2729 z8688

3:14 ¶ Sing, 7442 z8798 O daughter 1323 of Zion; 6726 shout, 7321 z8685 O Israel; 3478 be glad 8055 z8798 and rejoice 5937 z8798 with all x3605 the heart, 3820 O daughter 1323 of Jerusalem. 3389

3:15 The LORD 3068 hath taken away 5493 z8689 thy judgments, 4941 he hath cast out 6437 z8765 thine enemy: 341 z8802 the king 4428 of Israel, 3478 [even] the LORD, 3068 [is] in the midst 7130 of thee: thou shalt not x3808 see 7200 z8799 evil 7451 any more. x5750

3:16 In that x1931 day 3117 it shall be said 559 z8735 to Jerusalem, 3389 Fear 3372 z8799 thou not: x408 [and to] Zion, 6726 Let not x408 thine hands 3027 be slack. 7503 z8799

3:17 The LORD 3068 thy God 430 in the midst 7130 of thee [is] mighty; 1368 he will save, 3467 z8686 he will rejoice 7797 z8799 over x5921 thee with joy; 8057 he will rest 2790 z8686 in his love, 160 he will joy 1523 z8799 over x5921 thee with singing. 7440

3:18 I will gather 622 z8804 [them that are] sorrowful 3013 z8737 for the solemn assembly, 4150 x4480 [who] are x1961 of x4480 thee, [to whom] the reproach 2781 of x5921 it [was] a burden. 4864

3:19 Behold, x2009 at that x1931 time 6256 I will undo 6213 z8802 x853 all x3605 that afflict 6031 z8764 thee: and I will save 3467 z8689 x853 her that halteth, 6760 z8802 and gather 6908 z8762 her that was driven out; 5080 z8737 and I will get 7760 z8804 them praise 8416 and fame 8034 in every x3605 land 776 where they have been put to shame. 1322

3:20 At that x1931 time 6256 will I bring 935 z8686 you [again], even in the time 6256 that I gather 6908 z8763 you: for x3588 I will make 5414 z8799 you a name 8034 and a praise 8416 among all x3605 people 5971 of the earth, 776 when I turn back 7725 z8800 x853 your captivity 7622 before your eyes, 5869 saith 559 z8804 the LORD. 3068
