³ I have commanded My chosen ones;
I have also called My warriors,
who exult in My triumph,
to execute My wrath.^(A)

² The noisy city, the jubilant town,^(A)
is filled with revelry.
Your dead did not die by the sword;
they were not killed in battle.

⁷ Is this your jubilant city,
whose origin was in ancient times,
whose feet have taken her
to settle far away?

⁸ The joyful tambourines^(A) have ceased.
The noise of the jubilant has stopped.
The joyful lyre has ceased.

¹³ for the ground of my people
growing thorns and briers,^(A)
indeed, for every joyous house in the joyful city.

¹¹ On that day you^[a] will not be put to shame^(A)
because of everything you have done
in rebelling^(B) against Me.
For then I will remove
your proud,^(C) arrogant people from among you,
and you will never again be haughty
on My holy mountain.^(D)
