6 and he will be the stability of your times,abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge;the fear of the Lord is Zion’s treasure.
7 Behold, their heroes cry in the streets; the envoys of peace weep bitterly.
8 The highways lie waste;the traveler ceases. Covenants are broken;cities are despised;there is no regard for man.
9 The land mourns and languishes;Lebanon is confounded and withers away;Sharon is like a desert,and Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.
10 “Now I will arise,” says the Lord,“now I will lift myself up;now I will be exalted.
11 You conceive chaff; you give birth to stubble;your breath is a fire that will consume you.
12 And the peoples will be as if burned to lime, like thorns cut down, that are burned in the fire.”
