<p class="poetry">O land of Judah, land of Judah, land of Judah!<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">Listen to what the <sc>Lordsc> has to say!p>

<p class="poetry">you kings of the earth and all you nations,p> <p class="poetry">you princes and all you leaders<n id="1" /> on the earth,p>

until I come and take you to a land just like your own &#8211; a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards.

a land of wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates, of olive trees and honey,

<p class="poetry">The earth is broken in pieces,p> <p class="poetry">the earth is ripped to shreds,p> <p class="poetry">the earth shakes violently.<n id="1" />p>

<p class="poetry">You stretched out your right hand,p> <p class="poetry">the earth swallowed them.<n id="1" />p>

In all your landed property<n id="1" /> you must provide for the right of redemption of the land.<n id="2" />p>

You will perish among the nations; the land of your enemies will consume you.p>

The army of Israel<n id="1" /> and Absalom camped in the land of Gilead.p>

until I come and take you to a land just like your own &#8211; a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and honey. Then you will live and not die. Don&#8217;t listen to Hezekiah, for he is misleading you when he says, &#8220;The <sc>Lordsc> will rescue us.&#8221;

<p class="poetry">he who shakes the earth out of its place<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">so that its pillars tremble;<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">who teaches us<n id="1" /> more than<n id="2" /> the wild animals of the earth,p> <p class="poetry">and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?&#8217;p>

<p class="poetry">You, whose garments are hotp> <p class="poetry">when the earth is still because of the south wind,p>

<p class="poetry">So now, you kings, do what is wise;<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">you rulers of the earth, submit to correction!<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">They experience his favor;<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">their descendants<n id="2" /> inherit the land.<n id="3" />p>

<p class="poetry">Surely<n id="1" /> those favored by the <sc>Lordsc><n id="2" /> will possess the land,p> <p class="poetry">but those rejected<n id="3" /> by him will be wiped out.<n id="4" />p>

<p class="poetry">The godly will possess the landp> <p class="poetry">and will dwell in it permanently.p>

<p class="poetry">and a fruitful land into a barren place,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">because of the sin of its inhabitants.p>

<p class="poetry">You demonstrate your faithfulness to all generations.<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">You established the earth and it stood firm.p>

<p class="poetry">From eternity I was appointed,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">from the beginning, from before the world existed.<n id="2" />p>
