Woe to those who plot wickedness and prepare evil on their beds! When the morning is light they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.

Be in pain and deliver, daughter of Zion, like one giving birth. For now you shall go out from the city, and you shall dwell in the field; and you shall go to Babylon. There you shall be snatched back; there Jehovah shall redeem you from the hand of your enemies.

Your hand shall be high above your foes, and all your enemies shall be cut off.

And I will cut off sorceries out of your hand, and there shall not be fortune-tellers among you.

The nations shall see and be ashamed at all their might; they shall lay their hand on their mouth; their ears shall be deaf.
