Lexicon :: Strong's H6726 - ṣîyôn

‘Return ^H7725, you faithless ^H7726 sons ^H1121,’ declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068;

‘For I am ^H1166 a ^H1166 master ^H1166 to you,

And I will take ^H3947 you, one ^H259 from a city ^H5892 and two ^H8147 from a family ^H4940,

And bring ^H935 you to Zion ^H6726.’

“Raise ^H5375 a flag ^H5251 toward Zion ^H6726!

Take ^H5756 refuge ^H5756, do not stand ^H5975 still,

For I am bringing ^H935 evil ^H7451 from the north ^H6828,

And great ^H1419 destruction ^H7667.

For I heard ^H8085 a voice ^H6963 cry as of a woman in ^H2342 labor ^H2342,

The anguish ^H6869 as of one giving ^H1069 birth ^H1069 to ^H1069 her ^H1069 first ^H1069 child ^H1069.

The voice ^H6963 of the daughter ^H1323 of Zion ^H6726 gasping ^H3306 for ^H3306 breath ^H3306,

Stretching ^H6566 out ^H6566 her [fn]hands ^H3709, saying,

“Ah ^H4994, woe ^H188 to me, for [fn]I faint ^H5888 before murderers ^H2026.”

“The beautiful ^H5000 and delicate ^H6026 one, the daughter ^H1323 of Zion ^H6726, I will destroy ^H1820.

“They seize ^H2388 bow ^H7198 and spear ^H3591;

They are cruel ^H394 and have ^H7355 no ^H3808 mercy ^H7355;

Their voice ^H6963 roars ^H1993 like the sea ^H3220,

And they ride ^H7392 on horses ^H5483,

Lined ^H6186 up ^H6186 as a man ^H376 for the battle ^H4421

Against ^H5921 you, daughter ^H1323 of Zion ^H6726!”

Behold ^H2009, listen ^H6963! The cry ^H7775 of the daughter ^H1323 of my people ^H5971 from a distant ^H4801 land ^H776:

“Is the LORD ^H3068 not in Zion ^H6726? Is her King ^H4428 not within her?”

“Why ^H4069 have they provoked ^H3707 Me with their carved ^H6456 images ^H6456, with foreign ^H5236 [fn]idols ^H1892?”

“For a voice ^H6963 of wailing ^H5092 is heard ^H8085 from Zion ^H6726:

‘How ^H349 devastated ^H7703 we are!

We are put ^H954 to ^H954 great ^H3966 shame ^H954,

For we have abandoned ^H5800 the land ^H776

Because ^H3588 they have torn ^H7993 down ^H7993 our homes ^H4908.’”

Have You completely ^H3988 rejected ^H3988 Judah ^H3063?

Or ^H518 have [fn]You loathed ^H1602 Zion ^H6726?

Why ^H4069 have You stricken ^H5221 us so that we are beyond ^H369 healing ^H4832?

We waited ^H6960 for peace ^H7965, but nothing ^H369 good ^H2896 came;

And for a time ^H6256 of healing ^H4832, but behold ^H2009, terror ^H1205!

“Zion ^H6726 will be plowed ^H2790 like a field ^H7704,

And Jerusalem ^H3389 will become ^H1961 heaps ^H5856 of ^H5856 ruins ^H5856,

And the mountain ^H2022 of the house ^H1004 like the [fn]high ^H1116 places ^H1116 of a forest ^H3293.”’

‘For I will [fn]restore ^H5927 you to [fn]health ^H724

And I will heal ^H7495 you of your wounds ^H4347,’ declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068,

‘Because ^H3588 they have called ^H7121 you an outcast ^H5080, saying:

“It is Zion ^H6726; no ^H369 one ^H369 [fn]cares ^H1875 for her.”’

“For there ^H3426 will be ^H3426 a day ^H3117 when watchmen ^H5341

On the hills ^H2022 of Ephraim ^H669 call ^H7121 out ^H7121,

‘Arise ^H6965, and let’s go ^H5927 up ^H5927 to Zion ^H6726,

To the LORD ^H3068 our God ^H430.’”

“They will come ^H935 and shout ^H7442 for ^H7442 joy ^H7442 on the height ^H4791 of Zion ^H6726,

And they will be radiant ^H5102 over ^H413 the [fn]bounty ^H2898 of the LORD ^H3068—

Over ^H5921 the grain ^H1715, the new ^H8492 wine ^H8492, the oil ^H3323,

And over ^H5921 the young ^H1121 of the flock ^H6629 and the herd ^H1241.

And their life ^H5315 will be like a watered ^H7302 garden ^H1588,

And they will never ^H3808 H5750 languish ^H1669 again ^H3254.

There is a sound ^H6963 of fugitives ^H5127 and refugees ^H6412 from the land ^H776 of Babylon ^H894,

To declare ^H5046 in Zion ^H6726 the vengeance ^H5360 of the LORD ^H3068 our God ^H430,

Vengeance ^H5360 for His temple ^H1964.

The LORD ^H3068 has brought ^H3318 [fn]about ^H3318 our vindication ^H6666;

Come ^H935 and let’s recount ^H5608 in Zion ^H6726

The work ^H4639 of the LORD ^H3068 our God ^H430!

“But I will repay ^H7999 Babylon ^H894 and all ^H3605 the inhabitants ^H3427 of Chaldea ^H3778 for all ^H3605 their evil ^H7451 that they have done ^H6213 in Zion ^H6726 before your eyes ^H5869,” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068.

“May the violence ^H2555 done to me and to my flesh ^H7607 be upon Babylon ^H894,”

The [fn]inhabitant ^H3427 of Zion ^H6726 will say ^H559;

And, “May my blood ^H1818 be upon the inhabitants ^H3427 of Chaldea ^H3778,”

Jerusalem ^H3389 will say ^H559.
