I issued a decree and a search was conducted. It was discovered that this city has had uprisings against kings since ancient times, and there have been rebellions and revolts in it.

Will you continue on the ancient path
that wicked men have walked?

Lift up your heads, you gates!
Rise up, ancient doors!

Lift up your heads, you gates!
Rise up, ancient doors!
Then the King of glory will come in.

to Him who rides in the ancient, highest heavens.
Look, He thunders with His powerful voice!

to settle far away?

Who, like Me, can announce the future?
Let him say so and make a case before Me,
since I have established an ancient people.
Let these gods declare the coming things,
and what will take place.

Speak up and present your case—
yes, let them take counsel together.
Who predicted this long ago?
Who announced it from ancient times?
Was it not I, Yahweh?
There is no other God but Me,
a righteous God and Savior;
there is no one except Me.

Some of you will rebuild the ancient ruins;
you will restore the foundations laid long ago;

they will renew the ruined cities,
the devastations of many generations.

who acts on behalf of the one who waits for Him.

I am about to bring a nation
from far away against you,
house of Israel.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
It is an established nation,

The prophets who preceded you and me from ancient times prophesied war, disaster, and plague against many lands and great kingdoms.

“As I kept watching,

thrones were set in place,
and the Ancient of Days took His seat.
His clothing was white like snow,
and the hair of His head like whitest wool.
His throne was flaming fire;
its wheels were blazing fire.

I continued watching in the night visions,

and I saw One like a son of man
coming with the clouds of heaven.
He approached the Ancient of Days
and was escorted before Him.

until the Ancient of Days arrived and a judgment was given in favor of the holy ones of the Most High, for the time had come, and the holy ones took possession of the kingdom.

Shepherd Your people with Your staff,
the flock that is Your possession.
They live alone in a woodland
