3 I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest the enemy visit it, I will keep it night and day.

I, the Lord, keep it, I water it every moment; Lest any hurt it, I keep it night and day.

4 F ury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would tread them down, I would burn them together.

Fury is not in Me. Who would set briers and thorns Against Me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.

5 O r who shall take hold of my strength? Make peace with me, yea, make peace with me.

Or let him take hold of My strength, That he may make peace with Me; And he shall make peace with Me.”

8 I n measure, she shall be chastised in her stalks: he stays his rough wind in the day of the east wind.

In measure, by sending it away, You contended with it. He removes it by His rough wind In the day of the east wind.

9 T herefore, in this manner shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this shall be all the fruit, the removal of his sin; when he shall return all the stones of the altar, as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder that they may not raise up the groves, or the images of the sun.

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.

10 O therwise the defenced city shall be made desolate, and the habitation shall be forsaken and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down and consume the branches thereof.

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.

11 W hen its boughs are withered, they shall be broken off: women shall come and set them on fire: for this is not a people of understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will show them no favour.

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.

12 A nd it shall come to pass in that day that the LORD shall smite from the channel of the river Euphrates unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye sons of Israel.

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.

13 A nd it shall come to pass in that day that the great shofar shall be blown, and those who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria and the outcasts in the land of Egypt shall come and worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.

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.
