Their fortresses are devastated;
I have made their streets desolate,
With none passing by.
Their cities are destroyed;
There is no one, no inhabitant.

You will receive instruction’—
So that her dwelling would not be cut off,
Despite everything for which I punished her.
But1 they rose early and bcorrupted all their deeds.

8 “Therefore await for Me,” says the Lord,
“Until the day I rise up1 for plunder;
My determination is to bgather the nations
To My assembly of kingdoms,
To pour on them My indignation,
All My fierce anger;
All the earth cshall be devoured
With the fire of My jealousy.

9 “For then I will restore to the peoples aa pure language,
That they all may call on the name of the Lord,
To serve Him with one accord.
That they all may call on the name of the Lord,
To serve Him with one accord.
10 aFrom beyond the rivers of Ethiopia
My worshipers,
The daughter of My dispersed ones,
Shall bring My offering.

The daughter of My dispersed ones,
