6 There will be stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of Yahweh is your treasure.
7 Behold, their valiant ones cry outside; the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
8 The highways are desolate. The traveling man ceases. The covenant is broken. He has despised the cities. He doesn’t respect man.
9 The land mourns and languishes. Lebanon is confounded and withers away. Sharon is like a desert, and Bashan and Carmel are stripped bare.
10 “Now I will arise,” says Yahweh; “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 a fire that will devour you.
12 The peoples will be like the burning of lime, like thorns that are cut down and burned in the fire.
