5. The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
6. And there shall be stability in thy times, abundance of salvation, wisdom and knowledge: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
7. Behold, their valiant ones cry without: the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
8. The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth not man.
9. The land mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and withereth away: Sharon is like a desert; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.
10. How will I arise, saith the LORD; now will I lift up myself; now will I be exalted.
11. Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath is a fire that shall devour you.
12. And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut down, that are burned in the fire.
13. Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.
