Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you;
\ntherefore he will rise up to show mercy to you.
\nFor the Lord is a God of justice;
\nblessed are all those who wait for him.<\/p>\n
Truly, O\u00a0people in Zion, inhabitants of Jerusalem, you shall weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when he hears it, he will answer you. Though the Lord may give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide himself any more, but your eyes shall see your Teacher. And when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left, your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, \u201cThis is the way; walk in it.\u201d Then you will defile your silver-covered idols and your gold-plated images. You will scatter them like filthy rags; you will say to them, \u201cAway with you!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
