“I have cut off nations,
Their fortresses are devastated;
I have made their streets desolate,
With none passing by.
Their cities are destroyed;
There is no one, no inhabitant.
(A)I said, ‘Surely you will fear Me,
You will receive instruction’—
So that her dwelling would not be cut off,
Despite everything for which I punished her.
But [a]they rose early and (B)corrupted all their deeds.

A Faithful Remnant(C)

“Therefore (D)wait for Me,” says the Lord,
“Until the day I rise up [b]for plunder;

To My assembly of kingdoms,
To pour on them My indignation,
All My fierce anger;
All the earth (F)shall be devoured
With the fire of My jealousy.

But His hand is stretched out still.
