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.
A Faithful Remnant
“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.
That they all may call on the name of the Lord,
To serve Him with one accord.
My worshipers,
The daughter of My dispersed ones,
Shall bring My offering.
In which you transgress against Me;
For then I will take away from your midst
Those who arejoice in your pride,
And you shall no longer be haughty
In My holy mountain.
aA meek and humble people,
And they shall trust in the name of the Lord.
