A Prayer for Help

33Our enemies are doomed! They have robbed and betrayed, although no one has robbed them or betrayed them. But their time to rob and betray will end, and they themselves will become victims of robbery and treachery.H1945H7703H7703H898H898H8552H7703H7703H5239H898H898 2LORD, have mercy on us. We have put our hope in you. Protect us day by day and save us in times of trouble.H3068H2603H6960H2220H1242H3444H6256H6869 3When you fight for us, nations run away from the noise of battle.H6963H1995H5971H5074H7427H1471H5310 4Their belongings are pounced upon and taken as loot.H7998H622H625H2625H4944H1357H8264 5How great the LORD is! He rules over everything. He will fill Jerusalem with justice and integrityH3068H7682H7931H4791H4390H6726H4941H6666 6and give stability to the nation. He always protects his people and gives them wisdom and knowledge. Their greatest treasure is their reverence for the LORD.H2451H1847H530H6256H2633H3444H3374H3068H214 7The brave are calling for help. The ambassadors who tried to bring about peace are crying bitterly.H691H6817H2351H4397H7965H1058H4751 8The highways are so dangerous that no one travels on them. Treaties are broken and agreements are violated. No one is respected any more.H4546H8074H5674H734H7673H6565H1285H3988H5892H2803H582 9The land lies idle and deserted. The forests of Lebanon have withered, the fertile valley of Sharon is like a desert, and in Bashan and on Mount Carmel the leaves are falling from the trees.H776H56H535H3844H2659H7060H8289H6160H1316H3760H5287

The Lord Warns His Enemies

10The LORD says to the nations, "Now I will act. I will show how powerful I am.H6965H559H3068H7426H5375 11You make worthless plans and everything you do is useless. My spirit is like a fire that will destroy you.H2029H2842H3205H7179H7307H784H398 12You will crumble like rocks burned to make lime, like thorns burned to ashes.H5971H4955H7875H6975H3683H3341H784 13Let everyone near and far hear what I have done and acknowledge my power."H8085H7350H6213H7138H3045H1369 14The sinful people of Zion are trembling with fright. They say, "God's judgment is like a fire that burns forever. Can any of us survive a fire like that?"H2400H6726H6342H7461H270H2611H1481H398H784H1481H5769H4168 15You can survive if you say and do what is right. Don't use your power to cheat the poor and don't accept bribes. Don't join with those who plan to commit murder or to do other evil things.H1980H6666H1696H4339H3988H1215H4642H5287H3709H8551H7810H331H241H8085H1818H6105H5869H7200H7451 16Then you will be safe; you will be as secure as if in a strong fortress. You will have food to eat and water to drink.H7931H4791H4869H4679H5553H3899H5414H4325H539

The Glorious Future

17Once again you will see a king ruling in splendor over a land that stretches in all directions.H5869H2372H4428H3308H7200H776H4801 18Your old fears of foreign tax collectors and spies will be only a memory.H3820H1897H367H5608H8254H5608H4026 19You will no longer see any arrogant foreigners who speak a language that you can't understand.H7200H3267H5971H5971H6012H8193H8085H3932H3956H998 20Look at Zion, the city where we celebrate our religious festivals. Look at Jerusalem! What a safe place it will be to live in! It will be like a tent that is never moved, whose pegs are never pulled up and whose ropes never break.H2372H6726H7151H4150H5869H7200H3389H7600H5116H168H6813H3489H5331H5265H2256H5423 21The LORD will show us his glory. We will live beside broad rivers and streams, but hostile ships will not sail on them.H117H3068H4725H7342H3027H5104H2975H3212H1077H590H7885H117H6716H5674 22All the rigging on those ships is useless; the sails cannot be spread! We will seize all the wealth of enemy armies, and there will be so much that even the lame can get a share.H3068H8199H3068H2710H3068H4428H3467 23The LORD himself will be our king; he will rule over us and protect us.H2256H5203H3653H2388H8650H6566H5251H5706H4766H7998H2505H6455H962H957 24No one who lives in our land will ever again complain of being sick, and all sins will be forgiven.H7934H559H2470H5971H3427H5375H5771
