and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;

 5Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist,

 20For the ruthless shall come to nothing
and othe scoffer cease,
and all who watch to do evil shall be cut off,

and xthe coastlands wait for his law.

yand your taskmasters righteousness.
 18 zViolence shall no more be heard in your land,
devastation or destruction within your borders;
aayou shall call your walls Salvation,
and your gates Praise.
