How long will ye judge unjustly, And respect the persons of the wicked? (Selah)
I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: (now) will I cry out like a travailing woman; I will gasp and pant together.
For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burneth.
Then the angel of Jehovah answered and said, O Jehovah of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?
