I must bear the indignation of the Lord,
    because I have sinned against him,
until he takes my side
    and executes judgement for me.
He will bring me out to the light;
    I shall see his vindication.
10 Then my enemy will see,
    and shame will cover her who said to me,
    ‘Where is the Lord your God?’
My eyes will see her downfall;[a]
    now she will be trodden down
    like the mire of the streets.

A Prophecy of Restoration

11 A day for the building of your walls!
    In that day the boundary shall be far extended.
