4 Like locusts, your enemies will take away the things you stole in war.Like locusts rushing about, they will take your wealth.
5 The Lord is very great. He lives in a high place.He fills Jerusalem with fairness and justice.
6 The Lord will be your safety.He is full of salvation, wisdom and knowledge.Respect for the Lord is the greatest treasure.
7 See, brave men are crying out in the streets.Those who tried to bring peace are crying loudly.
8 There is no one on the roads.No one is walking in the paths.People have broken the agreements they made.People refuse to believe the proof from witnesses.No one respects other people.
9 The land is sick and dying.Lebanon is ashamed and dying.The Plain of Sharon is dry like the desert.The trees of Bashan and Carmel are dying.
10 The Lord says, “Now, I will stand upand show my greatness.Now, I will become important to the people.
