“Remember what happened long ago,

for I am God, and there is no other;

I am God, and no one is like me.

Look up to the heavens,

and look at the earth beneath;

for the heavens will vanish like smoke,

the earth will wear out like a garment,

and its inhabitants will die like gnats.[fn]

But my salvation will last forever,

and my righteousness will never be shattered.

LORD, there is no one like you.

You are great;

your name is great in power.

What will you say when he appoints

close friends as leaders over you,

ones you yourself trained?

Won’t labor pains seize you,

as they do a woman in labor?

Why has my pain become unending,

my wound incurable,

refusing to be healed?

You truly have become like a mirage to me —

water that is not reliable.

How awful that day will be!

There will be no other like it!

It will be a time of trouble for Jacob,

but he will be saved out of it.

“Look, it will be like a lion coming from the thickets[fn] of the Jordan to the watered grazing land. I will chase Edom away from her land in a flash. I will appoint whoever is chosen for her. For who is like me? Who will issue me a summons? Who is the shepherd who can stand against me? ”

Come against her from the most distant places.[fn]

Open her granaries;

pile her up like mounds of grain

and completely destroy her.

Leave her no survivors.

People have heard me groaning,

but there is no one to comfort me.

All my enemies have heard of my misfortune;

they are glad that you have caused it.

Bring on the day you have announced,

so that they may become like me.

The punishment of my dear people

is greater than that of Sodom,

which was overthrown in an instant

without a hand laid on it.

“Because of all your detestable practices, I will do to you what I have never done before and what I will never do again.

“before your wickedness was exposed? It was like the time you were scorned by the daughters of Aram[fn] and all those around her, and by the daughters of the Philistines ​— ​those who treated you with contempt from every side.

All of them commit adultery;

they are like an oven heated by a baker

who stops stirring the fire

from the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.

Though I were to write out for him

ten thousand points of my instruction,

they would be[fn] regarded as something strange.

So I will be like a lion to them;

I will lurk like a leopard on the path.

a day of darkness and gloom,

a day of clouds and total darkness,

like the dawn spreading over the mountains;

a great and strong people appears,

such as never existed in ages past

and never will again

in all the generations to come.

Who is a God like you,

forgiving iniquity and passing over rebellion

for the remnant of his inheritance?

He does not hold on to his anger forever

because he delights in faithful love.

You pierce his head

with his own spears;

his warriors storm out to scatter us,

gloating as if ready to secretly devour the weak.

“‘Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How does it look to you now? Doesn’t it seem to you like nothing by comparison?

Then he said to me, “This is the curse that is going out over the whole land, for everyone who is a thief, contrary to what is written on one side, has gone unpunished,[fn] and everyone who swears falsely, contrary to what is written on the other side, has gone unpunished.

The LORD of Armies will defend them.

They will consume and conquer with slingstones;

they will drink and be rowdy as if with wine.

They will be as full as the sprinkling basin,

like those at the corners of the altar.

For the idols speak falsehood,

and the diviners see illusions;

they relate empty dreams

and offer empty comfort.

Therefore the people wander like sheep;

they suffer affliction because there is no shepherd.
