O Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long shall your vain thoughts lodge within you?

How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?

How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell in it? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our latter end.

How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;

For therefore he sent unto us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long: build yourselves houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

How long will you go about, O you backsliding daughter? for the LORD has created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall protect a man.

Baldness has come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long will you cut yourself?

O you sword of the LORD, how long will it be before you are quiet? put yourself into your scabbard, rest, and be still.
