Zion’s Future Triumph
6 “In that day,” says the Lord,
a“I will assemble the lame,
bI will gather the outcast
And those whom I have afflicted;
a“I will assemble the lame,
bI will gather the outcast
And those whom I have afflicted;
7 I will make the lame aa remnant,
And the outcast a strong nation;
So the Lord bwill reign over them in Mount Zion
From now on, even forever.
And the outcast a strong nation;
So the Lord bwill reign over them in Mount Zion
From now on, even forever.
8 And you, O tower of the flock,
The stronghold of the daughter of Zion,
To you shall it come,
Even the former dominion shall come,
The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.”
The stronghold of the daughter of Zion,
To you shall it come,
Even the former dominion shall come,
The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.”
9 Now why do you cry aloud?
aIs there no king in your midst?
Has your counselor perished?
For bpangs have seized you like a woman in1 labor.

10 Be in pain, and labor to bring forth,
O daughter of Zion,
Like a woman in birth pangs.
For now you shall go forth from the city,
You shall dwell in the field,
And to aBabylon you shall go.
There you shall be delivered;
There the bLord will credeem you
From the hand of your enemies.

From the hand of your enemies.
11 aNow also many nations have gathered against you,
Who say, “Let her be defiled,
And let our eye blook upon Zion.”
Who say, “Let her be defiled,
And let our eye blook upon Zion.”
