persons:°°

3:5
But the just Lord is in the midst of her, and he will never do an unjust thing: morning by morning he will bring out his judgment to the light, and it is not hidden, and he knows not injustice by extortion, nor injustice in strife. |

The just°
Yahweh°
[is] in the midst°
thereof; he will not°
do°°
iniquity:°
every°
morning°

his judgment°
to light,°
he faileth°°
not;°
but the unjust°
knoweth°°
no°
shame.° |

the nations:°
their towers°
are desolate;°°

so that there is no°°
man,°
that there is none°°
inhabitant.°° |

I said,°°
Surely°
thou wilt fear°°
me, thou wilt receive°°
instruction;°
so their dwelling°
should not°
be cut off,°°
howsoever°°
I punished°°°
them: but°
they rose early,°°
[and] corrupted°°
all°
their doings.° |

3:8 ¶
Therefore wait upon me, saith the Lord, until the day when I rise up for a witness: because my judgment [shall be] on the gatherings of the nations, to draw to me kings, to pour out upon them all [my] fierce anger: for the whole earth shall be consumed with the fire of my jealousy. |

wait°°
ye upon me, saith°°
Yahweh,°

my determination°
[is] to gather°°
the nations,°
that I may assemble°°
the kingdoms,°
to pour°°
upon°
them mine indignation,°

my fierce°
anger:°

consent.° |

|
3:11
In that°
day°
shalt thou not°
be ashamed°°
for all°°
thy doings,°
wherein°
thou hast transgressed°°
against me: for°
then°
I will take away°°
out of the midst°°

in thy pride,°
and thou shalt no°
more°°°
be haughty°°
because of my holy°
mountain.° |

at that°
time°
I will undo°°°
all°

land°

people°
