“I hate your New Moons and prescribed festivals.

They have become a burden to me;

I am tired of putting up with them.

So humanity is brought low,

and each person is humbled.

Do not forgive them!

I will make it a wasteland.

It will not be pruned or weeded;

thorns and briers will grow up.

I will also give orders to the clouds

that rain should not fall on it.

Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes straw

and as dry grass shrivels in the flame,

so their roots will become like something rotten

and their blossoms will blow away like dust,

for they have rejected

the instruction of the LORD of Armies,

and they have despised

the word of the Holy One of Israel.

He will spread out his arms in the middle of it,

as a swimmer spreads out his arms to swim.

His pride will be brought low,

along with the trickery of his hands.

pastures deserted and abandoned like a wilderness.

Calves will graze there,

and there they will spread out and strip its branches.

Strengthen the weak hands,

steady the shaking knees!

Their inhabitants have become powerless,

dismayed, and ashamed.

They are plants of the field,

tender grass,

grass on the rooftops,

blasted by the east wind.[fn]

“He will not cry out or shout

or make his voice heard in the streets.

“I will be the same until your old age,

and I will bear you up when you turn gray.

I have made you, and I will carry you;

I will bear and rescue you.

I will not keep silent because of Zion,

and I will not keep still because of Jerusalem,

until her righteousness shines like a bright light

and her salvation, like a flaming torch.

“You have left me.”

This is the LORD’s declaration.

“You have turned your back,

so I have stretched out my hand against you

and destroyed you.

I am tired of showing compassion.

“But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings, and you will go out and playfully jump like calves from the stall.[fn]
