3:1 Woe 1945 to her that is filthy 4754 8802 and polluted 1351 8737, to the oppressing 3238 8802 city 5892!(her…: or, gluttonous: Heb. craw)

3:2 She obeyed 8085 8804 not the voice 6963; she received 3947 8804 not correction 4148; she trusted 982 8804 not in the LORD 3068; she drew not near 7126 8804 to her God 430.(correction: or, instruction)

3:3 Her princes 8269 within 7130 her [are] roaring 7580 8802 lions 738; her judges 8199 8802 [are] evening 6153 wolves 2061; they gnaw not the bones 1633 8804 till the morrow 1242.

3:4 Her prophets 5030 [are] light 6348 8802 [and] treacherous 900 persons 582: her priests 3548 have polluted 2490 8765 the sanctuary 6944, they have done violence 2554 8804 to the law 8451.

3:5 The just 6662 LORD 3068 [is] in the midst 7130 thereof; he will not do 6213 8799 iniquity 5766: every 1242 morning 1242 doth he bring 5414 8799 his judgment 4941 to light 216, he faileth 5737 8738 not; but the unjust 5767 knoweth 3045 8802 no shame 1322.(every…: Heb. morning by morning)

3:6 I have cut off 3772 8689 the nations 1471: their towers 6438 are desolate 8074 8738; I made their streets 2351 waste 2717 8689, that none passeth by 5674 8802: their cities 5892 are destroyed 6658 8738, so that there is no man 376, that there is none inhabitant 3427 8802.(towers: or, corners)

3:7 I said 559 8804, Surely thou wilt fear 3372 8799 me, thou wilt receive 3947 8799 instruction 4148; so their dwelling 4583 should not be cut off 3772 8735, howsoever 834 3605 I punished 6485 8804 them: but 403 they rose early 7925 8689, [and] corrupted 7843 8689 all their doings 5949.

3:8 Therefore wait 2442 8761 ye upon me, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068, until the day 3117 that I rise up 6965 8800 to the prey 5706: for my determination 4941 [is] to gather 622 8800 the nations 1471, that I may assemble 6908 8800 the kingdoms 4467, to pour 8210 8800 upon them mine indignation 2195, [even] all my fierce 2740 anger 639: for all the earth 776 shall be devoured 398 8735 with the fire 784 of my jealousy 7068.

3:9 For then will I turn 2015 8799 to the people 5971 a pure 1305 8803 language 8193, that they may all call 7121 8800 upon the name 8034 of the LORD 3068, to serve 5647 8800 him with one 259 consent 7926.(language: Heb. lip)(consent: Heb. shoulder)

3:10 From beyond 5676 the rivers 5104 of Ethiopia 3568 my suppliants 6282, [even] the daughter 1323 of my dispersed 6327 8803, shall bring 2986 8686 mine offering 4503.

3:11 In that day 3117 shalt thou not be ashamed 954 8799 for all thy doings 5949, wherein thou hast transgressed 6586 8804 against me: for then I will take away 5493 8686 out of the midst 7130 of thee them that rejoice 5947 in thy pride 1346, and thou shalt no more 3254 8686 be haughty 1361 8800 because of my holy 6944 mountain 2022.(because…: Heb. in my holy)

3:12 I will also leave 7604 8689 in the midst 7130 of thee an afflicted 6041 and poor 1800 people 5971, and they shall trust 2620 8804 in the name 8034 of the LORD 3068.

3:13 The remnant 7611 of Israel 3478 shall not do 6213 8799 iniquity 5766, nor speak 1696 8762 lies 3577; neither shall a deceitful 8649 tongue 3956 be found 4672 8735 in their mouth 6310: for they shall feed 7462 8799 and lie down 7257 8804, and none shall make [them] afraid 2729 8688.

3:14 Sing 7442 8798, O daughter 1323 of Zion 6726; shout 7321 8685, O Israel 3478; be glad 8055 8798 and rejoice 5937 8798 with all the heart 3820, O daughter 1323 of Jerusalem 3389.

3:15 The LORD 3068 hath taken away 5493 8689 thy judgments 4941, he hath cast out 6437 8765 thine enemy 341 8802: the king 4428 of Israel 3478, [even] the LORD 3068, [is] in the midst 7130 of thee: thou shalt not see 7200 8799 evil 7451 any more.

3:16 In that day 3117 it shall be said 559 8735 to Jerusalem 3389, Fear 3372 8799 thou not: [and to] Zion 6726, Let not thine hands 3027 be slack 7503 8799.(slack: or, faint)

3:17 The LORD 3068 thy God 430 in the midst 7130 of thee [is] mighty 1368; he will save 3467 8686, he will rejoice 7797 8799 over thee with joy 8057; he will rest 2790 8686 in his love 160, he will joy 1523 8799 over thee with singing 7440.(rest: Heb. be silent)

3:18 I will gather 622 8804 [them that are] sorrowful 3013 8737 for the solemn assembly 4150, [who] are of thee, [to whom] the reproach 2781 of it [was] a burden 4864.(reproach…: Heb. the burden upon it was reproach)

3:19 Behold, at that time 6256 I will undo 6213 8802 all that afflict 6031 8764 thee: and I will save 3467 8689 her that halteth 6760 8802, and gather 6908 8762 her that was driven out 5080 8737; and I will get 7760 8804 them praise 8416 and fame 8034 in every land 776 where they have been put to shame 1322.(get…: Heb. set them for a praise)(where…: Heb. of their shame)

3:20 At that time 6256 will I bring 935 8686 you [again], even in the time 6256 that I gather 6908 8763 you: for I will make 5414 8799 you a name 8034 and a praise 8416 among all people 5971 of the earth 776, when I turn back 7725 8800 your captivity 7622 before your eyes 5869, saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068.
