7 “The days of being given attention must come;+ the days of the due payment must come.+ Those of Israel will know [it].+ The prophet will be foolish,+ the man of inspired expression* will be maddened on account of the abundance of your error,+ even animosity being abundant.”

4 Their best one is like a brier, [their] most upright one is worse than a thorn hedge.+ The day of your watchmen, [of] your being given attention, must come.+ Now will occur the confounding of them.+

68 “Blessed be Jehovah* the God of Israel,+ because he has turned his attention and performed deliverance+ toward his people.+

12 Maintain YOUR conduct fine among the nations,+ that, in the thing in which they are speaking against YOU as evildoers, they may as a result of YOUR fine works+ of which they are eyewitnesses glorify God in the day for [his] inspection.+
