She was once a center of justice,

fairness resided in her,

but now only murderers.

I wish I could confront some thorns and briers!

Then I would march against them for battle;

I would set them all on fire,

Isaiah 33:24

33:24 No resident of Zion will say, “I am ill”;

the people who live there will have their sin forgiven.

Isaiah 37:34

37:34 He will go back the way he came –

he will not enter this city,’ says the Lord.

Isaiah 65:19

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.
