1 Listen to me, you who pursue justice, you who go in search of the Lord. Look to the rock from which you were hewn, to the pit from which you were quarried.
7 Hear me, you who know righteousness, you who have my law in your hearts: do not fear the reproach of others or be terrified by their mocking.
16 I have put my words in your mouth as I stretched out the heavens. When I laid the foundations of the earth, I said to Zion: “You are my people, and I have shielded you in the shadow of my hand.”
22 Thus says your Lord Yahweh, your God, defender of your people’s cause: See, I am taking out of your hand the cup of trembling; the cup of my anger— you will drink of it no more. 23 But I will put it into the hands of your tormentors, those who ordered you to bow down, that they might trample on you, while you laid your body as a pavement, as a street for them to walk on.
2 Shake the dust off yourself and rise up, O Jerusalem. Loose the bonds from your neck, O captive Daughter of Zion. 3 For thus says the Lord: You were sold for no amount, you will be redeemed without money.
5 But now, what am I doing here? says the Lord. My people have been carried off for no money and their masters make a boast of it; all day long my name is scorned. 6 Therefore my people will know my name; therefore they will know on that day that it is I who say: “Here I am!”
---- my own,
Before the end of this day, you will know that I, the Lord your God, always keep My Word. My Word is life and truth. I assured you from the beginning that I, the Alpha and the Omega, the Eternal Word of the Father, will accomplish all that I have said, and today you will rejoice and be glad. All that I have spoken to you from the beginning will come to pass today. Weeping lasted through the night, but with the dawn comes rejoicing. Pray, hope, and do not be anxious, but hold on to My Word that I have just spoken to you. You know My Name, for you are called by it. You are Mine now and always. Have faith. Believe. By the power of My Name, I will break every snare, every shackle, and when I declare you and those you love free, you are all free indeed.
