13 So will it be on the earth

and among the nations,

as when an olive tree is beaten,

or as when gleanings are left after the grape harvest.

14 They raise their voices, they shout for joy;

from the west they acclaim the Lord’s majesty.

15 Therefore in the east give glory to the Lord;

exalt the name of the Lord, the God of Israel,

in the islands of the sea.

16 From the ends of the earth we hear singing:

“Glory to the Righteous One.”

But I said, “I waste away, I waste away!

Woe to me!

The treacherous betray!

With treachery the treacherous betray!”

13 When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people,

There shall be as the shaking of an olive tree,

And as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.

14 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing

For the majesty of the Lord, they shall cry aloud from the sea.

15 Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires,

Even the name of the Lord God of Israel in the isles of the sea.

16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous.

But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me!

The treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously;

Yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.

13 Throughout the earth the story is the same—

only a remnant is left,

like the stray olives left on the tree

or the few grapes left on the vine after harvest.

14 But all who are left shout and sing for joy.

Those in the west praise the Lord’s majesty.

15 In eastern lands, give glory to the Lord.

In the lands beyond the sea, praise the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

16 We hear songs of praise from the ends of the earth,

songs that give glory to the Righteous One!

But my heart is heavy with grief.

Weep for me, for I wither away.

Deceit still prevails,

and treachery is everywhere.

13 When it shall be thus in the midst of the land among the people,

It shall be like the shaking of an olive tree,

Like the gleaning of grapes when the vintage is done.

14 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing;

For the majesty of the Lord

They shall cry aloud from the sea.

15 Therefore glorify the Lord in the dawning light,

The name of the Lord God of Israel in the coastlands of the sea.

16 From the ends of the earth we have heard songs:

“Glory to the righteous!”

But I said, “I am ruined, ruined!

Woe to me!

The treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously,

Indeed, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.”

13 This is what will happen all over the earth

and to all the nations.

The earth will be like an olive tree after the harvest

or like the few grapes left on a vine after harvest.

14 The people shout for joy.

From the west they praise the greatness of the Lord.

15 People in the east, praise the Lord.

People in the islands of the sea,

praise the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

16 We hear songs from every part of the earth

praising God, the Righteous One.

But I said, “I am dying! I am dying!

How terrible it will be for me!

Traitors turn against people;

with their dishonesty, they turn against people.”

13 For thus shall it be in the midst of the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive-tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done.

14 These shall lift up their voice, they shall shout; for the majesty of Jehovah they cry aloud from the sea. 15 Wherefore glorify ye Jehovah in the east, even the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel, in the isles of the sea. 16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs: Glory to the righteous.

But I said, I pine away, I pine away, woe is me! the treacherous have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.

13 For so will it be in the midst of the land among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive-tree, as the grape-gleanings when the vintage is done. 14 These shall lift up their voice, they shall shout for the majesty of Jehovah, they shall cry aloud from the sea. 15 Therefore glorify Jehovah in the east, the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel, in the isles of the west.

16 From the end of the earth have we heard songs: Glory to the righteous! And I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! The treacherous have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.

13 That is the way it will be on earth among the nations. 

They will be like an olive tree which has been shaken 

or like what’s left after the grape harvest. 

14 They raise their voices. 

They shout for joy. 

From the sea they sing joyfully about the Lord’s majesty. 

15 Honor the Lord in the east. 

Honor the name of the Lord God of Israel along the coastlands. 

16 From the ends of the earth we hear songs of praise 

that honor the Righteous One. 

But I kept saying, 

“I’m wasting away! I’m wasting away! 

How horrible it is for me! 

Traitors continue to betray, 

and their treachery grows worse and worse.” 

13 For this is how it will be on earth

among the nations:

like a harvested olive tree,

like a gleaning after a grape harvest.

14 They raise their voices, they sing out;

they proclaim in the west

the majesty of the Lord.

15 Therefore, in the east honor the Lord!

In the islands of the west

honor the name of Yahweh,

the God of Israel.

16 From the ends of the earth we hear songs:

The Splendor of the Righteous One.

But I said, “I waste away! I waste away!

Woe is me.”

The treacherous act treacherously;

the treacherous deal very treacherously.

13 For thus it shall be on the earth

and among the nations,

as when an olive tree is beaten,

as at the gleaning when the grape harvest is ended.

14 They lift up their voices, they sing for joy;

they shout from the west over the majesty of the Lord.

15 Therefore in the east give glory to the Lord;

in the coastlands of the sea glorify the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

16 From the ends of the earth we hear songs of praise,

of glory to the Righteous One.

But I say, I pine away,

I pine away. Woe is me!

For the treacherous deal treacherously,

the treacherous deal very treacherously.

13 For it shall be like this in the midst of the earth,

among the nations,

like the beating of an olive tree,

like gleanings when a grape harvest is at an end.

14 They lift up their voices; they sing for joy;

they shout out from the west over the majesty of Yahweh.

15 Therefore glorify Yahweh in the east,

the name of Yahweh the God of Israel in the coastlands of the sea.

16 We hear songs from the edge of the earth:

“Glory to the righteous one!”

But I say, “Ruin to me!

Ruin to me! Woe to me!

The treacherous ones deal treacherously,

and the treacherous ones deal treacherously with treachery!”

13 That’s how it will be on the earth.

And that’s how it will be among the nations.

It will be as when workers knock all but a few olives off the trees.

It will be like a vine that has only a few grapes left after the harvest.

14 Those who are left alive will shout with joy.

People from the west will praise the Lord because he is the King.

15 So give glory to him, you who live in the east.

Honor the name of the Lord, you who are in the islands of the sea.

He is the God of Israel.

16 From one end of the earth to the other we hear singing.

People are saying,

“Give glory to the One who always does what is right.”

But I said, “I feel very bad.

I’m getting weaker and weaker.

How terrible it is for me!

People turn against one another.

They can’t be trusted.

So they turn against each other.”

13 For thus it will be in the midst of the earth among the peoples,

As the shaking of an olive tree,

As the gleanings when the grape harvest is over.

14 They raise their voices, they shout for joy;

They cry out from the west concerning the majesty of the Lord.

15 Therefore glorify the Lord in the east,

The name of the Lord, the God of Israel,

In the coastlands of the sea.

16 From the ends of the earth we hear songs, “Glory to the Righteous One,”

But I say, “Woe to me! Woe to me! Alas for me!

The treacherous deal treacherously,

And the treacherous deal very treacherously.”
