Look, the Lord announces to the entire earth: “Say to Daughter Zion, ‘Look, your deliverer comes! Look, his reward is with him and his reward goes before him!’”

Look, a king will promote fairness; officials will promote justice.

Look, ambassadors cry out in the streets; messengers sent to make peace weep bitterly.

They removed the defenses of Judah. At that time you looked for the weapons in the House of the Forest.

Look, they come from far away! Look, some come from the north and west, and others from the land of Sinim!

So this is what the sovereign Lord says: “Look, my servants will eat, but you will be hungry! Look, my servants will drink, but you will be thirsty! Look, my servants will rejoice, but you will be humiliated!

Look, the sovereign Lord comes as a victorious warrior; his military power establishes his rule. Look, his reward is with him; his prize goes before him.

Look, the sovereign Lord helps me. Who dares to condemn me? Look, all of them will wear out like clothes; a moth will eat away at them.

When one looks out over the land, he sees distress and darkness, gloom and anxiety, darkness and people forced from the land.

I first decreed to Zion, ‘Look, here’s what will happen!’ I sent a herald to Jerusalem.

I look, but there is no one, among them there is no one who serves as an adviser, that I might ask questions and receive answers.

O Lord, in distress they looked for you; they uttered incantations because of your discipline.

Look, I have inscribed your name on my palms; your walls are constantly before me.

“Look, my servant will succeed! He will be elevated, lifted high, and greatly exalted –

Look, I made him a witness to nations, a ruler and commander of nations.”

For I looked forward to the day of vengeance, and then payback time arrived.

Look down from heaven and take notice, from your holy, majestic palace! Where are your zeal and power? Do not hold back your tender compassion!

“Listen to me, you who pursue godliness, who seek the Lord! Look at the rock from which you were chiseled, at the quarry from which you were dug!

Lord, do not be too angry! Do not hold our sins against us continually! Take a good look at your people, at all of us!

So I say: “Don’t look at me! I am weeping bitterly. Don’t try to console me concerning the destruction of my defenseless people.”
