9. I must endure the Lord’s anger,for I have sinned against him.But then he will defend my cause,and accomplish justice on my behalf.He will lead me out into the light;I will experience firsthand his deliverance.
10. When my enemies see this, they will be covered with shame.They say to me, “Where is the Lord your God?”I will gloat over them.Then they will be trampled downlike mud in the streets.
11. It will be a day for rebuilding your walls;in that day your boundary will be extended.
12. In that day people will come to youfrom Assyria as far as Egypt,from Egypt as far as the Euphrates River,from the seacoasts and the mountains.
13. The earth will become desolatebecause of what its inhabitants have done.
