7 How can it be said, house of Jacob,“Is the Lord short of patience;are these the Lord’s deeds?”Do not my words promise goodto the one who walks in justice?
8 But you rise up against my people as an enemy:you have stripped off the garment from the peaceful,From those who go their way in confidence,as though it were spoils of war.
9 The women of my people you drive outfrom their pleasant houses;From their children you take awayforever the honor I gave them.
10 “Get up! Leave,this is no place to rest”;Because of uncleanness that destroyswith terrible destruction.
11 If one possessed of a lying spiritspeaks deceitfully, saying,“I will preach to you wine and strong drink,”that one would be the preacher for this people.
12 I will gather you, Jacob, each and every one,I will assemble all the remnant of Israel;I will group them like a flock in the fold,like a herd in its pasture;the noise of the people will resound.
13 The one who makes a breach goes up before them;they make a breach and pass through the gate;Their king shall go through before them,the Lord at their head.
