God

Then He will judge between the nations and arbitrate for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor train anymore for war.

Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD.

For You have abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled with influences from the east; they are soothsayers like the Philistines; they strike hands with the children of foreigners.

Go into the rocks and hide in the dust from the terror of the LORD and the splendor of His majesty.

The proud look of man will be humbled, and the loftiness of men brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.

For the Day of the LORD of Hosts will come against all the proud and lofty, against all that is exalted— it will be humbled—

So the pride of man will be brought low, and the loftiness of men will be humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,

and the idols will vanish completely.

Men will flee to caves in the rocks and holes in the ground, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.

They will flee to caverns in the rocks and crevices in the cliffs, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.

For behold, the Lord GOD of Hosts is about to remove from Jerusalem and Judah both supply and support: the whole supply of food and water,

“I will make mere lads their leaders, and children will rule over them.”

On that day he will cry aloud: “I am not a healer. I have no food or clothing in my house. Do not make me leader of the people!”

For Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen because they spoke and acted against the LORD, defying His glorious presence.

Youths oppress My people, and women rule over them. O My people, your guides mislead you; they turn you from your paths.

The LORD arises to contend; He stands to judge the people.

The LORD brings this charge against the elders and leaders of His people: “You have devoured the vineyard; the plunder of the poor is in your houses.

Why do you crush My people and grind the faces of the poor?” declares the Lord GOD of Hosts.

The LORD also says: “Because the daughters of Zion are haughty— walking with heads held high and wanton eyes, prancing and skipping as they go, jingling the bracelets on their ankles—

the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will make their foreheads bare.”

In that day the Lord will take away their finery: their anklets and headbands and crescents;

On that day the Branch of the LORD will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory of Israel’s survivors.

when the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and cleansed the bloodstains from the heart of Jerusalem by a spirit of judgment and a spirit of fire.

Then the LORD will create over all of Mount Zion and over her assemblies a cloud of smoke by day and a glowing flame of fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a canopy,

“And now, O dwellers of Jerusalem and men of Judah, I exhort you to judge between Me and My vineyard.
