For thou hast made of a city a heap; of a fortified city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.

And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counselors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbor; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.

Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous city, a joyous city: thy slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.

And I will deliver thee and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city.
