Jerusalem Remains Unrepentant
6 “I have destroyed nations;
their strongholds are demolished.
I have left their streets deserted,
with no one passing through.
Their cities are laid waste;(A)
they are deserted and empty.
7 Of Jerusalem I thought,
‘Surely you will fear me
and accept correction!’(B)
Then her place of refuge[a] would not be destroyed,
nor all my punishments come upon[b] her.
But they were still eager
to act corruptly(C) in all they did.
8 Therefore wait(D) for me,”
declares the Lord,
“for the day I will stand up to testify.[c]
I have decided to assemble(E) the nations,(F)
to gather the kingdoms
and to pour out my wrath(G) on them—
all my fierce anger.(H)
The whole world will be consumed(I)
by the fire of my jealous anger.
