6 Sons refuse to respecttheir own fathers,daughters rebel againsttheir own mothers,and daughters-in-law despisetheir mothers-in-law.Your family is now your enemy.
7 But I trust the Lord Godto save me,and I will wait for himto answer my prayer.
8 My enemies, don't be gladbecause of my troubles!I may have fallen,but I will get up;I may be sitting in the dark,but the Lord is my light.
9 I have sinned against the Lord.And so I must endure his anger,until he comes to my defense.But I know that I will see himmaking things right for meand leading me to the light.
10 You, my enemies, said,“The Lord God is helpless.”Now each of youwill be disgracedand put to shame.I will see you trampledlike mud in the street.
11 Towns of Judah, the day is comingwhen your walls will be rebuilt,and your boundaries enlarged.
12 People will flock to youfrom Assyria and Egypt,from Babyloniaand everywhere else.
