Note this: The Lord GOD of Armies

is about to remove from Jerusalem and from Judah

every kind of security:

the entire supply of bread and water,

For the vineyard of the LORD of Armies

is the house of Israel,

and the men[fn] of Judah,

the plant he delighted in.

He expected justice

but saw injustice;

he expected righteousness

but heard cries of despair.

He raises a signal flag for the distant nations

and whistles for them from the ends of the earth.

Look ​— ​how quickly and swiftly they come!

On that day they will roar over it,

like the roaring of the sea.

When one looks at the land,

there will be darkness and distress;

light will be obscured by clouds.[fn]

He touched my mouth with it and said:

Now that this has touched your lips,

your iniquity is removed

and your sin is atoned for.

“Therefore, the Lord himself will give you[fn] a sign: See, the virgin will conceive,[fn] have a son, and name him Immanuel.[fn]

the Lord will certainly bring against them

the mighty rushing water of the Euphrates River —

the king of Assyria and all his glory.

It will overflow its channels

and spill over all its banks.

Here I am with the children the LORD has given me to be signs and wonders in Israel from the LORD of Armies who dwells on Mount Zion.

They will look toward the earth and see only distress, darkness, and the gloom of affliction, and they will be driven into thick darkness.

Look, the Lord GOD of Armies

will chop off the branches with terrifying power,

and the tall trees will be cut down,

the high trees felled.

“Indeed, God is my salvation;

I will trust him and not be afraid,

for the LORD, the LORD himself,

is my strength and my song.

He has become my salvation.”

Look, the day of the LORD is coming —

cruel, with fury and burning anger —

to make the earth a desolation

and to destroy its sinners.

A pronouncement concerning Damascus:

Look, Damascus is no longer a city.

It has become a ruined heap.

In the evening ​— ​sudden terror!

Before morning ​— ​it is gone!

This is the fate of those who plunder us

and the lot of those who ravage us.

A pronouncement concerning Egypt:

Look, the LORD rides on a swift cloud

and is coming to Egypt.

Egypt’s worthless idols will tremble before him,

and Egypt will lose heart.

“And the inhabitants of this coastland will say on that day, ‘Look, this is what has happened to those we relied on and fled to for help to rescue us from the king of Assyria! Now, how will we escape? ’ ”

“Look, riders come —

horsemen in pairs.”

And he answered, saying,

“Babylon has fallen, has fallen.

All the images of her gods

have been shattered on the ground.”

But look: joy and gladness,

butchering of cattle, slaughtering of sheep and goats,

eating of meat, and drinking of wine —

“Let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we die! ”

“Look, you strong man! The LORD is about to shake you violently. He will take hold of you,

Look, the LORD is stripping the earth bare

and making it desolate.

He will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants:

On that day it will be said,

“Look, this is our God;

we have waited for him, and he has saved us.

This is the LORD; we have waited for him.

Let’s rejoice and be glad in his salvation.”

For look, the LORD is coming from his place

to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity.

The earth will reveal the blood shed on it

and will no longer conceal her slain.

Look, the Lord has a strong and mighty one —

like a devastating hail storm,

like a storm with strong flooding water.

He will bring it across the land with his hand.

It will be like a hungry one who dreams he is eating,

then wakes and is still hungry;

and like a thirsty one who dreams he is drinking,

then wakes and is still thirsty, longing for water.

So it will be for all the many nations

who go to battle against Mount Zion.

Look! The name of the LORD is coming from far away,

his anger burning and heavy with smoke.[fn]

His lips are full of fury,

and his tongue is like a consuming fire.

When my sword has drunk its fill[fn] in the heavens,

it will then come down on Edom

and on the people I have set apart for destruction.

Say to the cowardly:

“Be strong; do not fear!

Here is your God; vengeance is coming.

God’s retribution is coming; he will save you.”

“Look, you are relying on Egypt, that splintered reed of a staff that will pierce the hand of anyone who grabs it and leans on it. This is how Pharaoh king of Egypt is to all who rely on him.

“Look, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the countries: they completely destroyed them. Will you be rescued?

Then the angel of the LORD went out and struck down one hundred eighty-five thousand in the camp of the Assyrians. When the people got up the next morning, there were all the dead bodies!

Indeed, it was for my own well-being

that I had such intense bitterness;

but your love has delivered me

from the Pit of destruction,

for you have thrown all my sins behind your back.

“‘Look, the days are coming when everything in your palace and all that your predecessors have stored up until today will be carried off to Babylon; nothing will be left,’ says the LORD.

Zion, herald of good news,

go up on a high mountain.

Jerusalem, herald of good news,

raise your voice loudly.

Raise it, do not be afraid!

Say to the cities of Judah,

“Here is your God! ”

See, I will make you into a sharp threshing board,

new, with many teeth.

You will thresh mountains and pulverize them

and make hills into chaff.

“I was the first to say to Zion,[fn]

‘Look! Here they are! ’

And I gave Jerusalem a herald with good news.

“The past events have indeed happened.

Now I declare new events;

I announce them to you before they occur.”

“Look, they are like stubble;

fire burns them.

They cannot rescue themselves

from the power of the flame.

This is not a coal for warming themselves,

or a fire to sit beside!

“They have been created now, and not long ago;

you have not heard of them before today,

so you could not claim, ‘I already knew them! ’

“Look, I have refined you, but not as silver;

I have tested[fn] you in the furnace of affliction.

See, these will come from far away,

from the north and from the west,[fn]

and from the land of Sinim.[fn][fn]

This is what the Lord GOD says:

Look, I will lift up my hand to the nations,

and raise my banner to the peoples.

They will bring your sons in their arms,

and your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.

This is what your Lord says —

the LORD, even your God,

who defends his people —

“Look, I have removed from your hand

the cup that causes staggering;

that goblet, the cup of my fury.

You will never drink it again.

See, my servant[fn] will be successful;[fn]

he will be raised and lifted up and greatly exalted.

“Poor Jerusalem, storm-tossed, and not comforted,

I will set your stones in black mortar,[fn]

and lay your foundations in lapis lazuli.

Therefore justice is far from us,

and righteousness does not reach us.

We hope for light, but there is darkness;

for brightness, but we live in the night.

For look, darkness will cover the earth,

and total darkness the peoples;

but the LORD will shine over you,

and his glory will appear over you.

Look, the LORD has proclaimed

to the ends of the earth,

“Say to Daughter Zion:

Look, your salvation is coming,

his wages are with him,

and his reward accompanies him.”

“Look, it is written in front of me:

I will not keep silent, but I will repay;

I will repay them fully[fn]

Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says:

“Look! My servants will eat,

but you will be hungry.

Look! My servants will drink,

but you will be thirsty.

Look! My servants will rejoice,

but you will be put to shame.
