³ and tell the land of Israel, Thus says Yahweh: Behold, I am against you, and will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked.

³¹ Then you shall remember your evil ways, and your doings that were not good; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.

⁵ In that day, Yahweh of Armies will become a crown of glory, and a diadem of beauty, to the residue of his people;

⁶ and a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.
