and will find a resting place for herself.

and riches from secret places,
so that you may know that I, Yahweh,

A day for a person to deny himself,
to bow his head like a reed,

when you cry out, He will say, ‘Here I am.’

if you honor it, not going your own ways,
seeking your own pleasure, or talking too much;

The sons of your oppressors
will come and bow down to you;
all who reviled you
will fall facedown at your feet.
They will call you the City of the Lord,
Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

Even before they call, I will answer;
while they are still speaking, I will hear.
