6 There will be stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge.The fear of the Lord 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 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 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.
