5 The Lord is exalted, for He dwells on high;He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6 There will be times of security for you —a storehouse of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge.The fear of the Lord is Zion’s treasure.
7 Listen! Their warriors cry loudly in the streets;the messengers of peace weep bitterly.
8 The highways are deserted;travel has ceased.An agreement has been broken, cities despised,and human life disregarded.
9 The land mourns and withers; Lebanon is ashamed and decayed.Sharon is like a desert;Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.
10 “Now I will rise up,” says the Lord.“Now I will lift Myself up.Now I will be exalted.
11 You will conceive chaff; you will give birth to stubble.Your breath is fire that will consume you.
