This is the self-assured city
that lives in security,
that thinks to herself:
I exist, and there is no one else.
What a desolation she has become,
a place for wild animals to lie down!
Everyone who passes by her
jeers and shakes his fist.

And it will come about that I will search Jerusalem with candles, punishing the self-satisfied and complacent, who say to themselves, "The LORD will do neither good nor evil.'

At the same time will I bring you in, and at the same time will I gather you. I will get you a name and a good report among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, sayeth the LORD.

In the same day also will I visit all those that tread over the threshold so proudly, which fill their lords' house with robbery and falsity.

At the same time, sayeth the LORD, there shall be heard a great cry from the fish port and a howling from the other port, and a great murder from the hills.
