Rh :So shall ye know that I am the your God,
 * Dwelling in Zion My holy mountain;
 * Then shall Jerusalem be holy,
 * And there shall no strangers pass through her any more.


 * And it shall come to pass in that day,
 * That the mountains shall drop down sweet wine,
 * And the hills shall flow with milk,
 * And all the brooks of Judah shall flow with waters;
 * And a fountain shall come forth of the house of the ,
 * And shall water the valley of Shittim.
 * Egypt shall be a desolation,
 * And Edom shall be a desolate wilderness,
 * For the violence against the children of Judah,
 * Because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
 * But Judah shall be inhabited for ever,
 * And Jerusalem from generation to generation.
 * And I will hold as innocent their blood that I have not held as innocent;
 * And the dwelleth in Zion.

 * And he said:
 * The roareth from Zion,
 * And uttereth His voice from Jerusalem;
 * And the pastures of the shepherds shall mourn,
 * And the top of Carmel shall wither.


 * Thus saith the :
 * For three transgressions of Damascus,
 * Yea, for four, I will not reverse it:
 * Because they have threshed Gilead with sledges of iron.
 * So will I send a fire into the house of Hazael,
 * And it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad;
 * And I will break the bar of Damascus,
 * And cut off the inhabitant from Bikath-aven,
 * And him that holdeth the sceptre from Beth-eden;
 * And the people of Aram shall go into captivity unto Kir,
 * Saith the.


 * Thus saith the :
 * For three transgressions of Gaza,
 * Yea, for four, I will not reverse it:
 * Because they carried away captive a whole captivity,
 * To deliver them up to Edom.
 * So will I send a fire on the wall of Gaza,
