For you, Lord GOD, have set them apart as your inheritance

from all peoples of the earth,

as you spoke through your servant Moses

when you brought our ancestors out of Egypt.

Our God is a God of salvation,

and escape from death belongs to the LORD my Lord.

Do not let those who put their hope in you

be disgraced because of me,

Lord GOD of Armies;

do not let those who seek you

be humiliated because of me,

God of Israel.

For you are my hope, Lord GOD,

my confidence from my youth.

I come because of the mighty acts of the Lord GOD;

I will proclaim your righteousness, yours alone.

But as for me, God’s presence is my good.

I have made the Lord GOD my refuge,

so I can tell about all you do.

But you, LORD, my Lord,

deal kindly with me for your name’s sake;

because your faithful love is good, rescue me.

LORD, my Lord, my strong Savior,

you shield my head on the day of battle.

But my eyes look to you, LORD, my Lord.

I seek refuge in you; do not let me die.[fn]

“Why do you crush my people

and grind the faces of the poor? ”

This is the declaration

of the Lord GOD of Armies.

This is what the Lord GOD says:

It will not happen; it will not occur.

For throughout the land

the Lord GOD of Armies

is carrying out a destruction that was decreed.

For the Lord GOD of Armies

had a day of tumult, trampling, and confusion

in the Valley of Vision —

people shouting[fn] and crying to the mountains;

On that day the Lord GOD of Armies

called for weeping, for wailing, for shaven heads,

and for the wearing of sackcloth.

The LORD of Armies has directly revealed to me:

“This iniquity will not be wiped out for you people as long as you live.”[fn]

The Lord GOD of Armies has spoken.

When he has swallowed up death once and for all,

the Lord GOD will wipe away the tears

from every face

and remove his people’s disgrace

from the whole earth,

for the LORD has spoken.

Therefore the Lord GOD said:

“Look, I have laid a stone in Zion,

a tested stone,

a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;

the one who believes will be unshakable.[fn]

So now, do not scoff,

or your shackles will become stronger.

Indeed, I have heard from the Lord GOD of Armies

a decree of destruction for the whole land.

For the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, has said:

“You will be delivered by returning and resting;

your strength will lie in quiet confidence.

But you are not willing.”

See, the Lord GOD comes with strength,

and his power establishes his rule.

His wages are with him,

and his reward accompanies him.

“Approach me and listen to this.

From the beginning I have not spoken in secret;

from the time anything existed, I was there.”

And now the Lord GOD

has sent me and his Spirit.

This is what the Lord GOD says:

Look, I will lift up my hand to the nations,

and raise my banner to the peoples.

They will bring your sons in their arms,

and your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.

The Lord GOD has given me

the tongue of those who are instructed

to know how to sustain the weary with a word.

He awakens me each morning;

he awakens my ear to listen like those being instructed.

The Lord GOD will help me;

therefore I have not been humiliated;

therefore I have set my face like flint,

and I know I will not be put to shame.

In truth, the Lord GOD will help me;

who will condemn me?

Indeed, all of them will wear out like a garment;

a moth will devour them.

For this is what the Lord GOD says:

“At first my people went down to Egypt to reside there,

then Assyria oppressed them without cause.[fn]

This is the declaration of the Lord GOD,

who gathers the dispersed of Israel:

“I will gather to them still others

besides those already gathered.”

The Spirit of the Lord GOD is on me,

because the LORD has anointed me

to bring good news to the poor.

He has sent me to heal[fn] the brokenhearted,

to proclaim liberty to the captives

and freedom to the prisoners;

For as the earth produces its growth,

and as a garden enables what is sown to spring up,

so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise

to spring up before all the nations.

Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says:

“Look! My servants will eat,

but you will be hungry.

Look! My servants will drink,

but you will be thirsty.

Look! My servants will rejoice,

but you will be put to shame.

“You will leave your name behind

as a curse for my chosen ones,

and the Lord GOD will kill you;

but he will give his servants another name.

But I protested, “Oh no, Lord GOD! Look, I don’t know how to speak since I am only a youth.”

Your own evil will discipline you;

your own apostasies will reprimand you.

Recognize[fn] how evil and bitter it is

for you to abandon the LORD your God

and to have no fear of me.

This is the declaration

of the Lord GOD of Armies.
