Jerusalem

May the LORD bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

Blessed be the LORD from Zion, Who dwells at Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!

If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill.

Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don’t remember you; if I don’t prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy.

Remember, LORD, against the children of Edom, the day of Jerusalem; who said, “Raze it! Raze it even to its foundation!”

The LORD builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.

Praise the LORD, Jerusalem! Praise your God, Zion!

The words of Kohelet, the son of David, king in Jerusalem:

I, Kohelet, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

I said to myself, “Behold, I have obtained for myself great wisdom above all who were before me in Jerusalem. Yes, my heart has had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.”

I bought male servants and female servants, and had servants born in my house. I also had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all who were before me in Jerusalem;

So I was great, and increased more than all who were before me in Jerusalem. My wisdom also remained with me.

I am dark, but lovely, you daughters of Jerusalem, like Kedar’s tents, like Solomon’s curtains.

I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, or by the hinds of the field, that you not stir up, nor awaken love, until it so desires.

I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, or by the hinds of the field, that you not stir up, nor awaken love, until it so desires.

He made its pillars of silver, its bottom of gold, its seat of purple, its midst being paved with love, from the daughters of Jerusalem.

I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my beloved, that you tell him that I am faint with love. Friends

His mouth is sweetness; yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.

You are beautiful, my love, as Tirzah, lovely as Jerusalem, awesome as an army with banners.

I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, that you not stir up, nor awaken love, until it so desires. Friends

The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

Many peoples shall go and say, “Come, let’s go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For out of Zion the law shall go out, and the LORD’s word from Jerusalem.

For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of Hosts, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah supply and support, the whole supply of bread, and the whole supply of water;

For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
