3Therefore, the LORD says: I am now planning a disaster against this nation; you cannot free your necks from it. Then you will not walk so proudly because it will be an evil time.
4In that day one will take up a taunt against you and lament mournfully, saying, "We are totally ruined! He measures out the allotted land of my people. How he removes it from me! He allots our fields to traitors."
7House of Jacob, should it be asked, "Is the Spirit of the LORD impatient? Are these the things he does?" Don't my words bring good to the one who walks uprightly?
8But recently my people have risen up like an enemy: You strip off the splendid robe from those who are passing through confidently, like those returning from war.
12I will indeed gather all of you, Jacob; I will collect the remnant of Israel. I will bring them together like sheep in a pen, like a flock in the middle of its pasture. It will be noisy with people.
13One who breaks open the way will advance before them; they will break out, pass through the city gate, and leave by it. Their King will pass through before them, the LORD as their leader.
