16  O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy ^bmountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us.

  17  So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God dwelling in Zion, my holy ^bmountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.
