Look! Those from the north and the west,
And these from the land of Sinim.”
Be joyful, O earth!
And break out in singing, O mountains!
For the Lord has comforted His people,
And will have mercy on His afflicted.
God Will Remember Zion
1And not have compassion on the son of her womb?
Surely they may forget,
bYet I will not forget you.
All these gather together and come to you.
As I live,” says the Lord,
“You shall surely clothe yourselves with them all bas an ornament,
And bind them on you as a bride does.
And the land of your destruction,
aWill even now be too small for the inhabitants;
And those who swallowed you up will be far away.
bAfter you have lost the others,
Will say again in your ears,
‘The place is too small for me;
Give me a place where I may dwell.’
‘Who has begotten these for me,
Since I have lost my children and am desolate,
A captive, and wandering to and fro?
And who has brought these up?
There I was, left alone;
But these, where were they?’ ”
“Behold, I will lift My hand in an oath to the nations,
And set up My1 standard for the peoples;
They shall bring your sons in their1 arms,
And your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders;
And their queens your nursing mothers;
They shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth,
And blick up the dust of your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord,
cFor they shall not be ashamed who wait for Me.”
Or the captives1 of the righteous be delivered?
“Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away,
And the prey of the terrible be delivered;
For I will contend with him who contends with you,
And I will save your children.
And they shall be drunk with their own bblood as with sweet wine.
All flesh cshall know
That I, the Lord, am your Savior,
And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
