Who say, “Let Him make speed, let Him hasten His work, that we may see it;
And let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel draw near
And come to pass, that we may know it!”

The mind of the hasty will discern the truth,
And the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak clearly.

But you will not go out in haste,
Nor will you go as fugitives;
For the Lord will go before you,
And the God of Israel will be your rear guard.

Their feet run to evil,
And they hasten to shed innocent blood;
Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity,
Devastation and destruction are in their highways.

“The smallest one will become a clan,
And the least one a mighty nation.
I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time.”
