There are only bruises, cuts,
and open wounds.

nor have they been treated

the mountain of the Lord’s temple will endure
as the most important of mountains,

a strong urge to sleep deeply.
He has shut your eyes (the prophets),
and covered your heads (the seers).

They will enter Zion with a happy shout.
Unending joy will crown them,
happiness and joy will overwhelm
grief and suffering will disappear.

shakes her head after you.

Who
I, the Lord, am present at the very beginning,
and at the very end – I am the one.

Who announced it
Indeed, none of them decreed it!
Indeed, none of them announced it!
Indeed, no one heard you say anything!

From the very first I have not spoken in secret;
when it happens,
So now, the sovereign Lord has sent me, accompanied by his spirit.

they will enter Zion with a happy shout.

they lie at the head of every street
like an antelope in a snare.
They are left in a stupor by the Lord’s anger,
by the battle cry of your God.
59:17 He wears his desire for justice
and his desire to deliver is like a helmet on his head.
He puts on the garments of vengeance
and wears zeal like a robe.
