1:1 Here is the message about Judah and Jerusalem
3:1 Look, the sovereign Lord who commands armies
is about to remove from Jerusalem
every source of security, including
all the food and water,
3:8 Jerusalem certainly stumbles,
Judah falls,
for their words and their actions offend the Lord;
they rebel against his royal authority.
10:32 This very day, standing in Nob,
they shake their fist at Daughter Zion’s mountain
at the hill of Jerusalem.
31:5 Just as birds hover over a nest,
so the Lord who commands armies will protect Jerusalem.
He will protect and deliver it;
as he passes over
37:32 “For a remnant will leave Jerusalem;
survivors will come out of Mount Zion.
The intense devotion of the Lord who commands armies
52:1 Wake up! Wake up!
Clothe yourself with strength, O Zion!
Put on your beautiful clothes,
O Jerusalem,
For uncircumcised and unclean pagans
will no longer invade you.
62:6 I
they should keep praying all day and all night.
You who pray to
65:18 But be happy and rejoice forevermore
over what I am about to create!
For look, I am ready to create Jerusalem
and her people to be a source of happiness.
65:19 Jerusalem will bring me joy,
and my people will bring me happiness.
The sound of weeping or cries of sorrow
will never be heard in her again.
