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.
4:4 At that time
he will rinse the bloodstains from Jerusalem’s midst,
as he comes to judge
and to bring devastation.
8:14 He will become a sanctuary,
but a stone that makes a person trip,
and a rock that makes one stumble –
to the two houses of Israel.
He will become
to the residents of Jerusalem.
24:23 The full moon will be covered up,
the bright sun
for the Lord who commands armies will rule
on Mount Zion in Jerusalem
in the presence of his assembly, in majestic splendor.
30:19 For people will live in Zion;
in Jerusalem
When he hears your cry of despair, he will indeed show you mercy;
when he hears it, he will respond to you.
31:9 They will surrender their stronghold
their officers will be afraid of the Lord’s battle flag.”
This is what the Lord says –
the one whose fire is in Zion,
whose firepot is in Jerusalem.
“The virgin daughter Zion
despises you – she makes fun of you;
daughter Jerusalem
shakes her head after you.
44:26 who fulfills the oracles of his prophetic servants
and brings to pass the announcements
who says about Jerusalem,
and about the towns of Judah, ‘They will be rebuilt,
her ruins I will raise up,’
51:17 Wake up! Wake up!
Get up, O Jerusalem!
You drank from the cup the Lord passed to you,
which was full of his anger!
You drained dry
the goblet full of intoxicating wine.
62:1 “For the sake of Zion I will not be silent;
for the sake of Jerusalem
until her vindication shines brightly
and her deliverance burns like a torch.”
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.
66:10 Be happy for Jerusalem
and rejoice with her, all you who love her!
Share in her great joy,
all you who have mourned over her!
