14 And aHe shall break it like the breaking of the potter’s vessel,
Which is broken in pieces;
He shall not spare.
So there shall not be found among its fragments
1A shard to take fire from the hearth,
Or to take water from the cistern.”
Which is broken in pieces;
He shall not spare.
So there shall not be found among its fragments
1A shard to take fire from the hearth,
Or to take water from the cistern.”
15 For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel:
a“In returning and rest you shall be saved;
In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.”
bBut you would not,
a“In returning and rest you shall be saved;
In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.”
bBut you would not,
16 And you said, “No, for we will flee on horses”—
Therefore you shall flee!
And, “We will ride on swift horses”—
Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift!
Therefore you shall flee!
And, “We will ride on swift horses”—
Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift!
17 aOne thousand shall flee at the threat of one,
At the threat of five you shall flee,
Till you are left as a1 pole on top of a mountain
And as a banner on a hill.
At the threat of five you shall flee,
Till you are left as a1 pole on top of a mountain
And as a banner on a hill.
God Will Be Gracious
18 Therefore the Lord will wait, that He may be agracious to you;
And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you.
For the Lord is a God of justice;
bBlessed are all those who cwait for Him.
And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you.
For the Lord is a God of justice;
bBlessed are all those who cwait for Him.
19 For the people ashall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem;
You shall bweep no more.
He will be very gracious to you at the sound of your cry;
When He hears it, He will canswer you.
You shall bweep no more.
He will be very gracious to you at the sound of your cry;
When He hears it, He will canswer you.
