31  Aue te mate mo te hunga e haere ana ki raro, ki Ihipa ki te tiki whakauru, e okioki ana ki te hoiho; e whakawhirinaki ana ki te hariata, no te mea he maha, ki te kaieke hoiho ano, no te mea he nui te kaha; kahore ia e titiro ki te Mea Tapu o Ihar aira, kahore hoki e rapu tikanga ki a Ihowa!

Otiia he whakaaro nui ano ia, ka takina mai ano te kino e ia, e kore ano ana kupu e unuhia e ia: engari ka whakatika ia ki te whare o nga kaimahi i te kino, ki nga whakauru o nga kaimahi i te he.

Na he tangata nei nga Ihipiana, ehara hoki i te Atua; he kikokiko ano hoki o ratou hoiho, ehara i te wairua. Te whakamarokanga mai o to Ihowa ringa, ka hinga te kaiawhina, taka tonu atu te tangata e awhinatia ana, a ka he ngatahi ratou.

Ko ta Ihowa kupu hoki tenei ki ahau, Ka rite ki te raiona, ki te kuao raiona e hamama ana ki tana tupapaku, i te mea ka karangarangatia nga hepara tokomaha ki a ia, kahore ona wehi ki to ratou reo, e kore ano ia e whakaririka ki to ratou ngangau; ka pera ano te haerenga iho o Ihowa o nga mano ki te whawhai ki runga ki Maunga Hiona me to reira pukepuke.

Ka rite ki nga manu e rere ana ta Ihowa o nga mano tiaki i Hiruharama, ka tiakina, ka whakaorangia, ka tika atu ia na runga, ka araaraia e ia.

Tahuri ki a ia, kua hohonu rawa nei ta koutou tutu ki a ia, e nga tama a Iharaira.

A taua ra hoki ka whakahawea te tangata ki ana whakapakoko hiriwa, ki ana whakapakoko koura, i hanga e o koutou ringa ma koutou hei hara.

Hei reira te Ahiriana ka hinga i te hoari, ehara na te tangata; a ka pau ia i te hoari, ehara i te tangata: a ka rere atu ia i te hoari, ka meinga hoki ana taitamariki kia utu takoha.

A ka memeha tona kamaka, he wehi hoki, a ka mataku ona rangatira i te kara, e ai ta Ihowa, kei Maunga Hiona nei tana ahi, kei Hiruharama tana oumu.

32  Nana, ka kingi te kingi i runga i te tika, ka whakahaere tikanga ano nga rangatira i runga i te whakawa.

A ka ai he tangata hei kuhunga ina pa te hau, hei piringa kei mate i te tupuhi; ka rite ki nga awa wai i te wahi maroke, ki te ata o te kohatu nui i te whenua ngaunga ra.

Na e kore e atarua nga kanohi o te hunga kite; ka whakarongo ano te hunga i te taringa rongo.

Ka matauria ano te matauranga e te ngakau o te hunga ponana, a ka hohoro te arero o nga reo kikiki ki te korero marama.

E kore te wairangi e kiia i muri he ohaoha, e kore ano te kaiponu e kiia he atawhai.

Ka korero hoki te tangata nanakia i te nanakia, a ka mahi tona ngakau i te kino, kia whakahawea ai ki te tapu, kia puta ke ai tana korero ki a Ihowa, kia noho tahanga ai i a ia te wairua o te tangata matekai, kia moti ai hoki he wai mo te tangata matewai.

He kino hoki nga hanga a te kaiponu: e whakatakotoria ana e ia he whakaaro kino, he korero teka e he ai te hunga iti, ahakoa e tika ana ano nga korero a te rawakore.

He ohaoha ia nga tikanga a te ohaoha; a ka u ia ki nga mahi ohaoha.

Whakatika e nga wahine e noho pai ana, whakarongo ki toku reo: e nga tamahine whakaarokore, kia whai taringa ki aku kupu.

10 He maha nga ra i tua atu i te tau e raruraru ai koutou, e nga wahine maharakore: no te mea ka kore te whakinga waina, e kore hoki e tae mai te kohikohinga.

11 E wiri, e nga wahine e noho humarie ana; pokaikaha noa iho, e te hunga maharakore; whakarerea nga kakahu, noho tahanga, whitikiria he kakahu taratara ki o koutou hope.

12 Ka papaki ratou ki nga uma mo nga mara ataahua, mo te waina hua.

13 Ka puta ake te tataramoa me te tumatakuru ki te oneone o taku iwi, ina, ki runga ki nga whare koa katoa o te pa hari:

14 No te mea ka mahue te whare kingi, ka whakarerea te pa tokomaha: ko te puke me te pourewa ka waiho hei ana a ake ake, hei mea e koa ai nga kaihe mohoao, hei wahi kai ma nga kahui;

15 Kia ringihia mai ra ano i runga te wairua ki a tatou, kia meinga ra ano te koraha hei mara whai hua, kia kiia ano te mara whai hua he ngahere.

16 Ko reira te whakawa noho ai ki te koraha, a hei kainga te mara hua mo te tika.

17 A ko te mahi a te tika he rongo mau; ko te whakaotinga o te tika he ata noho, he ngakau u a ake ake.

18 Ka noho hoki taku iwi ki te nohoanga o te rongo mau, ki nga kainga e u ai te ngakau, ki nga okiokinga humarie.

19 Ka tarere iho ia te whatu i te hinganga o te ngahere; a ka whakahoroa rawatia te pa ki raro.

20 Ano te hari o koutou, o te hunga e whakato ana ki te taha o nga wai katoa, e tuku atu ana i nga waewae o te kau, o te kaihe.

33  Aue te mate mou e pahua nei, a kihai koe i pahuatia; e tinihanga nei, a kihai ano koe i tinihangatia! kia mutu tau pahua, ka pahuatia ano koe: kia mutu tau tinihanga, ka tinihangatia koe.

Kia atawhai, e Ihowa, ki a matou; kua tatari nei matou ki a koe: ko koe hei ringa mo ratou i tenei ata, i tenei ata, hei whakaora mo matou i nga wa o te raru.

I te rongonga i te ngangau, whati ana nga iwi: i tou aranga ki runga, marara ana nga iwi.

Ko te kohikohinga o o koutou taonga ano he moka e kohi ana; kei te tarapeke o te mawhitiwhiti te rite ina kokiritia e ratou.

Ka whakanuia a Ihowa; kei runga hoki tona nohoanga; nana a Hiona i ki ai i te whakawa, i te tika.

A ka u nga wa i a koe; hua tonu te whakaora, te whakaaro nui, te matauranga; ko te wehi ki a Ihowa hei taonga mona.

Nana, he tangi o ratou maia i waho; ko nga karere hohou rongo, tiwerawera ana te tangi.

Kua ururuatia nga ara, kua kore e haerea e te tangata: kua paheke i a ia te kawenata, whakahawea ana ia ki nga pa: kahore te tangata e whakaaroa e ia.

E tangi ana te whenua, ngohe noa iho; kua whakama a Repanona, kua memenga; a Harono, rite tonu ki te koraha; ko nga rau o Pahana, o Karamere, ruirui rawa.

10 Katahi ahau ka whakatika, e ai ta Ihowa; katahi ahau ka whakarewa ake i ahau, katahi ahau ka neke ake.

11 Ko to koutou hapu he papapa, whanau ake he kakau witi; ko to koutou manawa, ka rite ki te ahi, ka kai i a koutou.

12 Ka rite hoki nga iwi ki nga tahunga kotakota; ki te tataramoa kua tapahia, e tahuna ana ki te ahi.

13 Whakarongo, e koutou o tawhiti, ki taku i mea ai; e te hunga e tata ana, kia mohio mai ki toku kaha.

14 Pawera noa iho nga tangata hara i Hiona, mau pu te hunga atuakore i te tuiri. Ko wai o tatou e noho ki te ahi e kai ana? ko wai o tatou e noho ki nga tahunga e kore nei e mutu?

15 Ko te tangata e haere ana i runga i te tika, he tika ano ana korero; ko te tangata e whakahawea ana ki nga taonga o te tukino, e rukerukea ana e tona ringa te utu whakapati; e punia ana ona taringa kei rangona he korero toto, e whakamoe ana i on a kanohi kei kite i te kino;

16 Ko te nohoanga mo tera kei runga rawa; ko tona wahi arai riri ko nga kaha o nga kamaka: ka homai he taro mana, ka pumau te wai mona.

17 Ka kite ou kanohi i te kingi, i tona ataahua: ka matakitaki ano ki te whenua e hora mai ana i tawhiti.

18 Ka whakaaroaroa te wehi e tou ngakau: kei hea te kaitatau, kei hea te kaipauna takoha? kei hea te kaitatau o nga pourewa?

19 E kore koe e kite i te iwi nanakia, he hohonu nei to ratou reo, kahore e rangona e koe; he rereke te reo, e kore e matauria e koe.

20 Titiro ki Hiona, ki te pa o a tatou hakari: ka kitea e ou kanohi a Hiruharama, he nohoanga humarie, he teneti, e kore e nekehia; e kore tetahi o ona titi e unuhia a ake ake, e kore ano tetahi o ona taura e motu.

21 Engari ki reira a Ihowa ki a tatou me tona nui, hei wahi mo nga awa whanui mo nga wai nunui; kahore hoki he waka e hoehoea ki reira, kahore he kaipuke nui e tika na reira.

22 No te mea ko Ihowa to tatou kaiwhakawa, ko Ihowa to tatou kaiwhakatakoto tikanga, ko Ihowa to tatou kingi; mana tatou e whakaora.

23 Kua tangoro kau ou puwhenua, te taea te turanga o to ratou rewa te whakau, te taea te ra te whewhera: na nui atu te taonga parakete e wehewehea ana, pahuatia ana nga taonga parau e nga kopa.

24 Kahore hoki he kianga ake a te tangata whenua, He mate toku; ko te iwi e noho ana i reira, ka murua to ratou he.

34  Whakatata mai, e nga iwi, kia rongo ai, kia whai taringa mai, e nga iwi: kia rongo te whenua, me nga mea e hua ana i runga, te ao, me nga mea katoa e puta ana i roto i a ia.

Kei runga hoki i nga iwi katoa te riri o Ihowa, tona weriweri kei runga i o ratou ope katoa: ngaro rawa i a ia, tukua ana kia patua.

Ka akiritia atu ano o ratou tupapaku i patua, ka puta ake hoki te piro o o ratou tinana, a ka rewa nga maunga i o ratou toto.

Na ka memeha nga ope katoa o te rangi, ko nga rangi, koia ano kei te pukapuka i pokaia; ko o ratou ope katoa ka whakangaro haere, koia ano kei te rau waina ka marere nei, kei te rau piki e marere ana i runga i te rakau piki.

Kua inu hoki taku hoari, makona ana, i te rangi: nana, ka tae iho ki a Eroma, ki te iwi i kanga e ahau, ki te whakarite whakawa.

Ki tonu te hoari a Ihowa i te toto; kua momona i te ngako, i te toto o nga reme, o nga koati, i te ngako o nga whatukuhu o nga hipi toa; he patunga tapu hoki ta Ihowa i Potora, he parekura nui i te whenua o Eroma.

A ka haere tahi mai i roto i a ratou nga kau maka, nga kau okiha ratou ko nga puru; a ka haurangi to ratou whenua i te toto, ka momona to ratou puehu i te ngako.

Ko te ra hoki ia o ta Ihowa rapu utu, ko te tau whakautu mo ta Hiona totohe.

A ka puta ke ona awa hei kapia, ko tona puehu hei whanariki; na, ko tona whenua, he kapia e ka ana!

10 E kore e tineia i te po, i te ao; ka kake tona paowa ake ake: i tera whakatupuranga, i tera whakatupuranga ka takoto he ururua kau; e kore tetahi tangata e tika na reira a ake tonu atu.

11 Ka riro ano a reira hei kainga mo te kawau, mo te matuku; ka noho ano te ruru raua ko te raweni ki reira, ka whakamarokia ano hoki e ia te taura o te pororaru ki runga, me te kohatu whakatika o te kore noa iho.

12 Ka karangatia ona rangatira kia whakakingitia, kahore tetahi e tae mai; a ka kore noa iho ona rangatira katoa.

13 A ka tupu te tataramoa ki ona whare kingi, he ongaonga, he tumatakuru ki ona pa kaha, a ka waiho hei nohoanga mo te kirehe mohoao, hei marae mo te oteriti.

14 Ko nga kuri mohoao o te koraha ka tutaki ki nga wuruhi, ka karanga te mea ahua koati ki tona hoa; ka takoto ano te ngarara haere po ki reira, ka kitea he okiokinga mona ki reira.

15 Ka hanga ano e te ruru nui tona kohanga ki reira, whanau iho, pao iho nga hua, whakamine ano ki raro i tona taumarumarunga iho: ka huihui ano ki reira nga whatura, ratou ko tana tane, ko tana tane.

16 Rapua i roto i ta Ihowa pukapuka, korerotia hoki; e kore tetahi o enei e ngaro, e kore tetahi o enei e hapa i te tane mana; na toku mangai nei hoki te whakahau, ko tona wairua ano to ratou kaiwhakamine.

17 Nana hoki i maka te rota mo ta ratou, na tona ringa ano i wehewehe taua wahi mo ratou, mea rawa ki te aho: hei kainga a reira mo ratou a ake ake, ka nohoia a reira e ratou i tena whakatupuranga, i tena whakatupuranga.

35  Ka koa te koraha me te wahi mokemoke, ka hari te koraha, koia ano kei te rohi te whai puawai.

Nui atu te tupu, ka koa, ae ra, koa ana, waiata ana: ka hoatu te kororia o Repanona ki reira, te nui o Karamere, o Harono: ka kite ratou i te kororia o Ihowa, i te nui o to tatou Atua.

Whakakahangia nga ringa ngoikore, whakaungia nga turi ngonge.

Mea atu ki te hunga ngakau potatutatu, Kia kaha, kaua e wehi: nana, ka haere mai to koutou Atua, me te rapu utu, me te whakautu a te Atua; ka haere mai ano ia ki te whakaora i a koutou.

Ko reira nga kanohi o nga matapo kite ai, a ka puare nga taringa o nga turi.

Ko reira te kopa tupeke ai, ano he hata, ka waiata te arero o te whango; no te mea ka pakaru mai nga wai i te koraha, nga awa i te wahi titohea.

Na ka meinga te kirikiri mumura hei harotoroto, te whenua maroke hei puputanga wai: a i te nohoanga i takoto ai nga kirehe mohoao, ko te tarutaru, ko te kakaho, ko te wiwi.

Ka whai huanui ano a reira, me tetahi ara, ka kiia hoki, Ko te ara o te tapu; e kore te poke e haere i reira; engari ka waiho mo ratou; a ko te tangata haere ara, ahakoa he wairangi, e kore e he ki reira.

Kahore o reira raiona, e kore ano tetahi kararehe kai kino e tika na reira, e kore e kitea ki reira; engari ka haereerea e te hunga i hokona.

10 Na, ko a Ihowa i hoko ai ka hoki mai, ka haere mai i runga i te waiata ki Hiona; i runga i o ratou mahunga ko te haringa e kore e mutu: ka whiwhi ratou ki te koa, ki te hari, a rere atu ana te pouri me te aue.

Woe to Those Who Rely on Egypt

31 Woe(A) to those who go down to Egypt(B) for help,
    who rely on horses,(C)
who trust in the multitude of their chariots(D)
    and in the great strength of their horsemen,
but do not look to the Holy One(E) of Israel,
    or seek help from the Lord.(F)
Yet he too is wise(G) and can bring disaster;(H)
    he does not take back his words.(I)
He will rise up against that wicked nation,(J)
    against those who help evildoers.
But the Egyptians(K) are mere mortals and not God;(L)
    their horses(M) are flesh and not spirit.
When the Lord stretches out his hand,(N)
    those who help will stumble,
    those who are helped(O) will fall;
    all will perish together.(P)

This is what the Lord says to me:

“As a lion(Q) growls,
    a great lion over its prey—
and though a whole band of shepherds(R)
    is called together against it,
it is not frightened by their shouts
    or disturbed by their clamor(S)
so the Lord Almighty will come down(T)
    to do battle on Mount Zion and on its heights.
Like birds hovering(U) overhead,
    the Lord Almighty will shield(V) Jerusalem;
he will shield it and deliver(W) it,
    he will ‘pass over’(X) it and will rescue it.”

Return,(Y) you Israelites, to the One you have so greatly revolted(Z) against. For in that day(AA) every one of you will reject the idols of silver and gold(AB) your sinful hands have made.(AC)

“Assyria(AD) will fall by no human sword;
    a sword, not of mortals, will devour(AE) them.
They will flee before the sword
    and their young men will be put to forced labor.(AF)
Their stronghold(AG) will fall because of terror;
    at the sight of the battle standard(AH) their commanders will panic,(AI)
declares the Lord,
    whose fire(AJ) is in Zion,
    whose furnace(AK) is in Jerusalem.

The Kingdom of Righteousness

32 See, a king(AL) will reign in righteousness
    and rulers will rule with justice.(AM)
Each one will be like a shelter(AN) from the wind
    and a refuge from the storm,(AO)
like streams of water(AP) in the desert(AQ)
    and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land.

Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed,(AR)
    and the ears(AS) of those who hear will listen.
The fearful heart will know and understand,(AT)
    and the stammering tongue(AU) will be fluent and clear.
No longer will the fool(AV) be called noble
    nor the scoundrel be highly respected.
For fools speak folly,(AW)
    their hearts are bent on evil:(AX)
They practice ungodliness(AY)
    and spread error(AZ) concerning the Lord;
the hungry they leave empty(BA)
    and from the thirsty they withhold water.
Scoundrels use wicked methods,(BB)
    they make up evil schemes(BC)
to destroy the poor with lies,
    even when the plea of the needy(BD) is just.(BE)
But the noble make noble plans,
    and by noble deeds(BF) they stand.(BG)

The Women of Jerusalem

You women(BH) who are so complacent,
    rise up and listen(BI) to me;
you daughters who feel secure,(BJ)
    hear what I have to say!
10 In little more than a year(BK)
    you who feel secure will tremble;
the grape harvest will fail,(BL)
    and the harvest of fruit will not come.
11 Tremble,(BM) you complacent women;
    shudder, you daughters who feel secure!(BN)
Strip off your fine clothes(BO)
    and wrap yourselves in rags.(BP)
12 Beat your breasts(BQ) for the pleasant fields,
    for the fruitful vines(BR)
13 and for the land of my people,
    a land overgrown with thorns and briers(BS)
yes, mourn(BT) for all houses of merriment
    and for this city of revelry.(BU)
14 The fortress(BV) will be abandoned,
    the noisy city deserted;(BW)
citadel and watchtower(BX) will become a wasteland forever,
    the delight of donkeys,(BY) a pasture for flocks,(BZ)
15 till the Spirit(CA) is poured on us from on high,
    and the desert becomes a fertile field,(CB)
    and the fertile field seems like a forest.(CC)
16 The Lord’s justice(CD) will dwell in the desert,(CE)
    his righteousness(CF) live in the fertile field.
17 The fruit of that righteousness(CG) will be peace;(CH)
    its effect will be quietness and confidence(CI) forever.
18 My people will live in peaceful(CJ) dwelling places,
    in secure homes,(CK)
    in undisturbed places of rest.(CL)
19 Though hail(CM) flattens the forest(CN)
    and the city is leveled(CO) completely,
20 how blessed you will be,
    sowing(CP) your seed by every stream,(CQ)
    and letting your cattle and donkeys range free.(CR)

Distress and Help

33 Woe(CS) to you, destroyer,
    you who have not been destroyed!
Woe to you, betrayer,
    you who have not been betrayed!
When you stop destroying,
    you will be destroyed;(CT)
when you stop betraying,
    you will be betrayed.(CU)

Lord, be gracious(CV) to us;
    we long for you.
Be our strength(CW) every morning,
    our salvation(CX) in time of distress.(CY)
At the uproar of your army,(CZ) the peoples flee;(DA)
    when you rise up,(DB) the nations scatter.
Your plunder,(DC) O nations, is harvested(DD) as by young locusts;(DE)
    like a swarm of locusts people pounce on it.

The Lord is exalted,(DF) for he dwells on high;(DG)
    he will fill Zion with his justice(DH) and righteousness.(DI)
He will be the sure foundation for your times,
    a rich store of salvation(DJ) and wisdom and knowledge;
    the fear(DK) of the Lord is the key to this treasure.[a](DL)

Look, their brave men(DM) cry aloud in the streets;
    the envoys(DN) of peace weep bitterly.
The highways are deserted,
    no travelers(DO) are on the roads.(DP)
The treaty is broken,(DQ)
    its witnesses[b] are despised,
    no one is respected.
The land dries up(DR) and wastes away,
    Lebanon(DS) is ashamed and withers;(DT)
Sharon(DU) is like the Arabah,
    and Bashan(DV) and Carmel(DW) drop their leaves.

10 “Now will I arise,(DX)” says the Lord.
    “Now will I be exalted;(DY)
    now will I be lifted up.
11 You conceive(DZ) chaff,
    you give birth(EA) to straw;
    your breath is a fire(EB) that consumes you.
12 The peoples will be burned to ashes;(EC)
    like cut thornbushes(ED) they will be set ablaze.(EE)

13 You who are far away,(EF) hear(EG) what I have done;
    you who are near, acknowledge my power!
14 The sinners(EH) in Zion are terrified;
    trembling(EI) grips the godless:
“Who of us can dwell with the consuming fire?(EJ)
    Who of us can dwell with everlasting burning?”
15 Those who walk righteously(EK)
    and speak what is right,(EL)
who reject gain from extortion(EM)
    and keep their hands from accepting bribes,(EN)
who stop their ears against plots of murder
    and shut their eyes(EO) against contemplating evil—
16 they are the ones who will dwell on the heights,(EP)
    whose refuge(EQ) will be the mountain fortress.(ER)
Their bread will be supplied,
    and water will not fail(ES) them.

17 Your eyes will see the king(ET) in his beauty(EU)
    and view a land that stretches afar.(EV)
18 In your thoughts you will ponder the former terror:(EW)
    “Where is that chief officer?
Where is the one who took the revenue?
    Where is the officer in charge of the towers?(EX)
19 You will see those arrogant people(EY) no more,
    people whose speech is obscure,
    whose language is strange and incomprehensible.(EZ)

20 Look on Zion,(FA) the city of our festivals;
    your eyes will see Jerusalem,
    a peaceful abode,(FB) a tent(FC) that will not be moved;(FD)
its stakes will never be pulled up,
    nor any of its ropes broken.
21 There the Lord will be our Mighty(FE) One.
    It will be like a place of broad rivers and streams.(FF)
No galley with oars will ride them,
    no mighty ship(FG) will sail them.
22 For the Lord is our judge,(FH)
    the Lord is our lawgiver,(FI)
the Lord is our king;(FJ)
    it is he who will save(FK) us.

23 Your rigging hangs loose:
    The mast is not held secure,
    the sail is not spread.
Then an abundance of spoils will be divided
    and even the lame(FL) will carry off plunder.(FM)
24 No one living in Zion will say, “I am ill”;(FN)
    and the sins of those who dwell there will be forgiven.(FO)

Judgment Against the Nations

34 Come near, you nations, and listen;(FP)
    pay attention, you peoples!(FQ)
Let the earth(FR) hear, and all that is in it,
    the world, and all that comes out of it!(FS)
The Lord is angry with all nations;
    his wrath(FT) is on all their armies.
He will totally destroy[c](FU) them,
    he will give them over to slaughter.(FV)
Their slain(FW) will be thrown out,
    their dead bodies(FX) will stink;(FY)
    the mountains will be soaked with their blood.(FZ)
All the stars in the sky will be dissolved(GA)
    and the heavens rolled up(GB) like a scroll;
all the starry host will fall(GC)
    like withered(GD) leaves from the vine,
    like shriveled figs from the fig tree.

My sword(GE) has drunk its fill in the heavens;
    see, it descends in judgment on Edom,(GF)
    the people I have totally destroyed.(GG)
The sword(GH) of the Lord is bathed in blood,
    it is covered with fat—
the blood of lambs and goats,
    fat from the kidneys of rams.
For the Lord has a sacrifice(GI) in Bozrah(GJ)
    and a great slaughter(GK) in the land of Edom.
And the wild oxen(GL) will fall with them,
    the bull calves and the great bulls.(GM)
Their land will be drenched with blood,(GN)
    and the dust will be soaked with fat.

For the Lord has a day(GO) of vengeance,(GP)
    a year of retribution,(GQ) to uphold Zion’s cause.
Edom’s streams will be turned into pitch,
    her dust into burning sulfur;(GR)
    her land will become blazing pitch!
10 It will not be quenched(GS) night or day;
    its smoke will rise forever.(GT)
From generation to generation(GU) it will lie desolate;(GV)
    no one will ever pass through it again.
11 The desert owl[d](GW) and screech owl[e] will possess it;
    the great owl[f] and the raven(GX) will nest there.
God will stretch out over Edom(GY)
    the measuring line of chaos(GZ)
    and the plumb line(HA) of desolation.
12 Her nobles will have nothing there to be called a kingdom,
    all her princes(HB) will vanish(HC) away.
13 Thorns(HD) will overrun her citadels,
    nettles and brambles her strongholds.(HE)
She will become a haunt for jackals,(HF)
    a home for owls.(HG)
14 Desert creatures(HH) will meet with hyenas,(HI)
    and wild goats will bleat to each other;
there the night creatures(HJ) will also lie down
    and find for themselves places of rest.
15 The owl will nest there and lay eggs,
    she will hatch them, and care for her young
    under the shadow of her wings;(HK)
there also the falcons(HL) will gather,
    each with its mate.

16 Look in the scroll(HM) of the Lord and read:

None of these will be missing,(HN)
    not one will lack her mate.
For it is his mouth(HO) that has given the order,(HP)
    and his Spirit will gather them together.
17 He allots their portions;(HQ)
    his hand distributes them by measure.
They will possess it forever
    and dwell there from generation to generation.(HR)

Joy of the Redeemed

35 The desert(HS) and the parched land will be glad;
    the wilderness will rejoice and blossom.(HT)
Like the crocus,(HU) it will burst into bloom;
    it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy.(HV)
The glory of Lebanon(HW) will be given to it,
    the splendor of Carmel(HX) and Sharon;(HY)
they will see the glory(HZ) of the Lord,
    the splendor of our God.(IA)

Strengthen the feeble hands,
    steady the knees(IB) that give way;
say(IC) to those with fearful hearts,(ID)
    “Be strong, do not fear;(IE)
your God will come,(IF)
    he will come with vengeance;(IG)
with divine retribution
    he will come to save(IH) you.”

Then will the eyes of the blind be opened(II)
    and the ears of the deaf(IJ) unstopped.
Then will the lame(IK) leap like a deer,(IL)
    and the mute tongue(IM) shout for joy.(IN)
Water will gush forth in the wilderness
    and streams(IO) in the desert.
The burning sand will become a pool,
    the thirsty ground(IP) bubbling springs.(IQ)
In the haunts where jackals(IR) once lay,
    grass and reeds(IS) and papyrus will grow.

And a highway(IT) will be there;
    it will be called the Way of Holiness;(IU)
    it will be for those who walk on that Way.
The unclean(IV) will not journey on it;
    wicked fools will not go about on it.
No lion(IW) will be there,
    nor any ravenous beast;(IX)
    they will not be found there.
But only the redeemed(IY) will walk there,
10     and those the Lord has rescued(IZ) will return.
They will enter Zion with singing;(JA)
    everlasting joy(JB) will crown their heads.
Gladness(JC) and joy will overtake them,
    and sorrow and sighing will flee away.(JD)
