WEBVTT 01:00.040 --> 01:01.940 Set up the standard towards Zion. 01:02.560 --> 01:03.700 Retire, stay not. 01:04.380 --> 01:07.440 For I will bring evil from the north and a great destruction. 01:08.400 --> 01:12.480 The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on 01:12.480 --> 01:12.960 his way. 01:14.080 --> 01:18.480 He has gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate, and thy cities shall be 01:18.480 --> 01:20.540 laid waste without an inhabitant. 01:21.560 --> 01:24.400 For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl. 01:24.840 --> 01:27.640 For the fierce anger of the Lord is not turned back from us. 01:28.440 --> 01:32.420 And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the Lord, that the heart of the king 01:32.420 --> 01:36.180 shall perish, and the heart of the princes, and the priests shall be 01:36.180 --> 01:38.340 astonished, and the prophets shall wonder. 01:39.420 --> 01:44.640 Then said I, O Lord God, surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and 01:44.640 --> 01:49.840 Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace, whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul. 01:50.800 --> 01:55.320 At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the 01:55.320 --> 02:00.260 high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan nor to 02:00.260 --> 02:00.700 cleanse. 02:01.640 --> 02:04.420 Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me. 02:05.680 --> 02:07.960 Now also will I give sentence against them. 02:08.900 --> 02:14.040 Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind, 02:14.520 --> 02:16.300 his horses are swifter than eagles. 02:17.120 --> 02:19.400 Woe unto us, for we are spoiled. 02:20.380 --> 02:25.180 O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayst be saved. 02:26.000 --> 02:28.900 How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee? 02:29.640 --> 02:33.440 For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from Mount 02:33.440 --> 02:34.020 Ephraim. 02:34.880 --> 02:36.440 Make ye mention to the nations. 02:37.080 --> 02:41.500 Behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, 02:41.780 --> 02:44.200 and give out their voice against the cities of Judah. 02:45.340 --> 02:48.780 As keepers of a field, are they against her round about? 02:49.280 --> 02:52.280 Because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the Lord. 02:53.120 --> 02:55.940 Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee. 02:56.840 --> 03:01.640 This is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine 03:01.640 --> 03:02.100 heart. 03:03.100 --> 03:07.200 My bowels, my bowels, I am pained at my very heart. 03:07.740 --> 03:09.440 My heart maketh a noise in me. 03:10.120 --> 03:15.080 I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the 03:15.080 --> 03:16.540 trumpet, the alarm of war. 03:17.400 --> 03:21.400 Destruction upon destruction is cried, for the whole land is spoilt. 03:22.240 --> 03:25.180 Suddenly are my tents spoilt, and my curtains in a moment. 03:26.340 --> 03:29.560 How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet? 03:30.600 --> 03:33.820 For my people is foolish, they have not known me. 03:34.780 --> 03:37.720 They are sottish children, and they have none understanding. 03:38.640 --> 03:41.900 They are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge. 03:42.980 --> 03:47.900 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form and void, and the heavens, 03:48.640 --> 03:49.600 and they had no light. 03:50.400 --> 03:54.260 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved 03:54.260 --> 03:54.800 lightly. 03:56.040 --> 04:00.800 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were 04:00.800 --> 04:01.160 fled. 04:01.980 --> 04:07.300 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof 04:07.300 --> 04:10.820 were broken down at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce anger. 04:11.780 --> 04:16.720 For thus hath the Lord said, the whole land shall be desolate, yet will I not 04:16.720 --> 04:17.560 make a full end. 04:18.520 --> 04:22.120 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black, 04:22.620 --> 04:28.280 because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I 04:28.280 --> 04:29.180 turn back from it. 04:29.540 --> 04:32.880 The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen. 04:33.420 --> 04:36.320 They shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks. 04:37.040 --> 04:41.000 Every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein. 04:42.140 --> 04:44.600 And when thou art spoilt, what wilt thou do? 04:45.580 --> 04:50.200 Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of 04:50.200 --> 04:55.720 gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself 04:55.720 --> 04:56.080 fair. 04:57.080 --> 05:00.000 Thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life. 05:00.880 --> 05:06.420 For I have heard a voice, as of a woman in travail, and the anguish, as of her that 05:06.420 --> 05:09.940 bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, 05:10.620 --> 05:16.060 that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now, for my soul 05:16.060 --> 05:17.860 is wearied because of murderers.
