After Affliction Comes Deliverance

Woe to the ones causing misery, [⁴you ¹but ²no one ³makes] miserable; and the one disrespecting you, does not disrespect; [³shall be captured ¹the ones ²disrespecting], and they shall be delivered up; and as a moth upon a cloak, so they shall be vanquished.

²O LORD, show mercy on us! [³upon ⁴you ¹for ²we rely]. [⁵became ¹The ²seed ³of the ones ⁴resisting persuasion] for destruction; but our deliverance is in time of affliction.

³On account of the sound of the fear of you [²were amazed ¹peoples]. [⁵because of ⁶the ⁷fear ⁸of you ¹and ⁴were dispersed ²the ³nations].

⁴But now [²shall be gathered ¹your spoils], small and great; in which manner as if one should gather locusts, so they shall mock you.

⁵Holy is the God dwelling in heavens. Zion shall be filled up with equity and righteousness.

⁶[²to ³the law ¹They shall be delivered up]. [²is in ³treasuries ¹Our deliverance]. Located there are wisdom and higher knowledge and piety to the LORD; these are treasuries of righteousness.

⁷Behold indeed, in the fear of you these shall be fearful. Whom you feared shall yell out because of you; for messengers shall be sent enjoining for peace, bitterly weeping.

⁸[⁵shall be made desolate ¹For ²the ⁴of these ³ways]. [⁵has been made to cease ¹Your ²fear ³of the ⁴nations], and the covenant is lifted away, and in no way shall you consider them men.

⁹[³mourned ¹The ²land]. Lebanon is ashamed. [³marshes ²became ¹Sharon]. [³of distinction ²will be ¹Galilee], and Carmel.

¹⁰Now I shall rise up, says the LORD. Now I shall be glorified, now I shall be exalted,

¹¹now you shall see, now you shall perceive, [⁵in vain ⁴shall be ¹the ²strength ³of your spirit]; fire shall devour you.

¹²And [²shall be ¹the nations] for incinerating as a thorn-bush in a field being tossed and being incinerated.

¹³[³shall hear ¹The ones ²at a distance] what I did; and [³shall know ¹the ones ²approaching] my strength.

¹⁴[⁵departed ¹The ³in ⁴Zion ²lawless ones]. [²shall take ¹Trembling] the impious. Who shall announce to you that a fire is being burned? Who shall announce to you the [²place ¹eternal]?

¹⁵The one going in righteousness, speaking the straight way, detesting lawlessness and injustice, and [³with the ⁴hands ¹shaking off ²bribes], weighing down the ears that he should not hear a judgment of blood, closing the eyelids of the eyes that he should not behold injustice.

¹⁶This one shall live in a high cave [²rocks ¹of strong]; bread shall be given to him, and his water is trustworthy.

Future Zion

[²a king ³with ⁴glory ¹You shall see], and your eyes shall see a land at a distance.

¹⁸ Your soul shall meditate upon fear. Where are the academics? Where are the ones advising? Where is the one counting the ones being maintained?

¹⁹A small and great people which did not take advice, nor had beheld a deep voice, so that [³should not ⁴hear ¹a people ²being treated as worthless], and there is no [²to the one ³hearing ¹understanding].

²⁰Behold, Zion the city, our deliverance. Your eyes shall see Jerusalem, [²city ¹a rich], tents which in no way shall be shaken, nor shall [⁴be moved ¹the ²stanchions ³of her tent] into the eon of time, nor [³her rough cords ¹in any way ²shall] be torn up.

²¹For the name of the LORD [²great ³to you ¹will be]; with rivers and [⁴aqueducts ¹spacious ²and ³broad]. You shall not go this way, nor shall [³go ¹a boat ²being rowed].

²² For my God is great; [²shall not ³pass me by ¹the LORD]; the LORD our judge; the LORD our ruler; the LORD our king; the LORD himself shall deliver us.

²³[²were torn ¹Your rough cords], for [²does not ³have strength ¹your mast], it leans, it shall not let down the shrouds, it shall not lift a signal flag until of which time it should be delivered up for plunder; therefore many lame men [²plunder ¹shall cause].

²⁴And in no way shall [⁶say ⁷I am tired ¹the ²people ³dwelling ⁴in ⁵her], [³shall be forgiven ¹for ⁴to them ²sin].
