5 The Lord is exalted, enthroned on high;he fills Zion with right and justice.
6 That which makes her seasons certain,her wealth, salvation, wisdom, and knowledge,is the fear of the Lord, her treasure.
7 See, the men of Ariel cry out in the streets,the messengers of Shalem weep bitterly.
8 The highways are desolate,travelers have quit the paths,Covenants are broken, witnesses spurned;yet no one gives it a thought.
9 The country languishes in mourning,Lebanon withers with shame;Sharon is like the Arabah,Bashan and Carmel are stripped bare.
10 Now I will rise up, says the Lord,now exalt myself,now lift myself up.
11 You conceive dry grass, bring forth stubble;my spirit shall consume you like fire.
