³¹ “Arise and attack a nation at ease,
    which lives in confidence,”
declares the Lord,
“a nation that has neither gates nor bars;^(A)
    its people live far from danger.

⁸ “Now then, listen, you lover of pleasure,
    lounging in your security^(A)
and saying to yourself,
    ‘I am, and there is none besides me.^(B)
I will never be a widow^(C)
    or suffer the loss of children.’

²⁸ So Israel will live in safety;^(A)
    Jacob will dwell^[a] secure
in a land of grain and new wine,
    where the heavens drop dew.^(B)

⁹ From the rocky peaks I see them,
    from the heights I view them.^(A)
I see a people who live apart
    and do not consider themselves one of the nations.^(B)

“Although they have allies and are numerous,
    they will be destroyed^(A) and pass away.
Although I have afflicted you, Judah,
    I will afflict you no more.^(B)
