“Come, My people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about
thee; hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation
be overpast.”[301]
“Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge,
Even the Most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee,
Neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.”[302]
“The mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken,
And called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down
thereof.
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence.” [Sidenote: “_Our God
Shall Come_”]
“He shall call to the heavens above,
And to the earth, that He may judge His people; ...
And the heavens shall declare His righteousness;
For God is judge Himself.”[303]
“O daughter of Zion, ... the Lord shall redeem thee from the hand of
thine enemies. Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that
say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion. But they know
not the thoughts of the Lord, neither understand they His counsel.”
“Because they call thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man
seeketh after,” “I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee
of thy wounds, saith the Lord.” “I will bring again the captivity of
Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwelling-places.”[304]
[Sidenote: _“He Will Save”_]
“And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God;
We have waited for Him, and He will save us:
This is the Lord; we have waited for Him,
We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.”
“He will swallow up death in victory; ... and the rebuke of His people
shall He take away from off all the earth; for the Lord hath spoken
it.”[305]
“Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities; thine eyes shall see
Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken
down.... For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord
is our king.”[306]
“With righteousness shall He judge the poor, and reprove with equity for
the meek of the earth.”[307]
[Sidenote: _The Reign of Peace_]
Then will the purpose of God be fulfilled; the principles of His kingdom
will be honored by all beneath the sun.
“Violence shall no more be heard in thy land,
Wasting nor destruction within thy borders;
But thou shalt call thy walls Salvation,
And thy gates Praise.”
“In righteousness shalt thou be established:
Thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear:
And from terror; for it shall not come near thee.”[308]
