We have been with child, we have been in pain; We have, as it were, brought forth wind;
We have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth, Nor have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
Your dead shall live; Together with my dead body they shall arise.
Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust; For your dew is like the dew of herbs,
And the earth shall cast out the dead.
For behold, the Lord comes out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth will also disclose her blood, and will no more cover her slain.
In that day the Lord with His severe sword, great and strong, Will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent,
Leviathan that twisted serpent; And He will slay the reptile that is in the sea.
Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob will be covered; And this is all the fruit of taking away his sin:
When he makes all the stones of the altar Like chalkstones that are beaten to dust,
Wooden images and incense altars shall not stand.
Yet the fortified city will be desolate, The habitation forsaken and left like a wilderness;
There the calf will feed, and there it will lie down And consume its branches.
When its boughs are withered, they will be broken off; the women come and set them on fire. For it is a people of no understanding; Therefore He who made them will not have mercy on them, and He who formed them will show them no favor.
And it shall come to pass in that day that the Lord will thresh, from the channel of the River to the Brook of Egypt; and you will be gathered one by one, O you children of Israel.
So it shall be in that day:
The great trumpet will be blown;
They will come, who are about to perish in the land of Assyria,
And they who are outcasts in the land of Egypt, And shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, Whose glorious beauty is a fading flower
Which is at the head of the verdant valleys, To those who are overcome with wine!
Behold, the Lord has a mighty and strong one, like a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, like a flood of mighty waters overflowing, who will bring them down to the earth with His hand.
