2 This is what the Lord says:

“The people who survive the sword

will find favor in the wilderness;

I will come to give rest to Israel.”

2 Thus says the Lord:

“The people who survived the sword

found grace in the wilderness;

when Israel sought for rest,

2 Thus saith the Lord,

The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness;

Even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.

2 This is what the Lord says:

“Those who survive the coming destruction

will find blessings even in the barren land,

for I will give rest to the people of Israel.”

2 This is what the Lord says:

“The people who were not killed by the enemy’s sword

found help in the desert.

I came to give rest to Israel.”

2 Thus saith Jehovah, The people that were left of the sword found favor in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.

2 Thus saith Jehovah: The people that were left of the sword have found grace in the wilderness, even Israel, when I go to give him rest.

2 This is what the Lord says: 

The people who survived the wars have found favor in the desert. 

Israel went to find its rest. 

2 This is what the Lord says:

They found favor in the wilderness —

the people who survived the sword.

When Israel went to find rest,

2 Thus says the Lord:

The people who survived the sword

found grace in the wilderness;

when Israel sought for rest,

2 Thus says Yahweh:

“The people of the survivors of the sword found grace in the desert;

Israel going to find their rest.”

2 The Lord says,

“Some of my people will live through

everything their enemies do to them.

They will find help in the desert.

I will come to give peace and rest to Israel.”

2 Thus says the Lord,

“The people who survived the sword

Found grace in the wilderness—

Israel, when it went to find its rest.”
