How long will you flit here and there, indecisive?

How long before you make up your fickle mind?

God will create a new thing in this land:

A transformed woman will embrace the transforming God!”

23–24A Message from Israel’s God-of-the-Angel-Armies: “When I’ve turned everything around and brought my people back, the old expressions will be heard on the streets: ‘God bless you!’ … ‘O True Home!’ … ‘O Holy Mountain!’
