“ The time will come when I will set up David’s fallen shelter. I will repair its broken walls. I will rebuild what was destroyed. I will make it what it used to be.

“ I have spoken. The time has come for me to act. I will not hold back. I will not feel sorry for you. I will do what I said I would do. You will be judged for your conduct and actions. I am the Lord,” announces the Lord and King.

But you have turned your back on your anointed king. You have been very angry with him.

The Lord makes people poor. He also makes people rich. He brings people down. He also lifts people up.He raises poor people up from the trash pile. He lifts needy people out of the ashes. He lets them sit with princes. He gives them places of honor.“ The foundations of the earth belong to the Lord. On them he has set the world.

He has brought down rulers from their thrones. But he has lifted up people who are not considered important.He has filled with good things those who are hungry. But he has sent away empty those who are rich.

No one from east or west or north or south can judge themselves.God is the one who judges. He says to one person,“ You are guilty.” To another he says,“ You are not guilty.”

He will rule on David’s throne and over his kingdom. He will make the kingdom strong and secure. His rule will be based on what is fair and right. It will last forever.

The Spirit will help him know the Lord and have respect for him.The Branch will take delight in respecting the Lord. He will not judge things only by the way they look. He won’t make decisions based simply on what people say.He will always do what is right when he judges those who are in need. He’ll be completely fair when he makes decisions about poor people. When he commands that people be punished, it will happen. When he orders that evil people be put to death, it will take place.He will put on godliness as if it were his belt. He’ll wear faithfulness around his waist.Wolves will live with lambs. Leopards will lie down with goats. Calves and lions will eat together. And little children will lead them around.Cows will eat with bears. Their little ones will lie down together. And lions will eat straw like oxen.A baby will play near a hole where cobras live. A young child will put its hand into a nest where poisonous snakes live.None of those animals will harm or destroy anything or anyone on my holy mountain of Zion. The oceans are full of water. In the same way, the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord.
