And it was in that time, I will search out Jerusalem with lights, and I reviewed upon the men curdled upon their lees, saying in their heart, Jehovah will do good and not evil.

I heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the sons of Ammon which they reproached my people, and they will magnify against their border.

This the exulting city dwelling confidently, saying in her heart, I, and none besides me. How was she for a desolation, a piece of lying down for the beast! all passing by her shall hiss and wave his hand.

She heard not to the voice: she received not instruction; she trusted not in Jehovah; she drew not near to her God.

Shout for joy, O daughter of Zion; cry with a loud voice, O Israel; rejoice and exult with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
