5 In that day the Lord Almighty

will be a glorious crown,

a beautiful wreath

for the remnant of his people.

6 He will be a spirit of justice

to the one who sits in judgment,

a source of strength

to those who turn back the battle at the gate.

5 In that day the Lord of hosts will be a crown of glory,

and a diadem of beauty, to the remnant of his people,

6 and a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment,

and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.

5 In that day shall the Lord of hosts be for a crown of glory,

And for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,

6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment,

And for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.

5 Then at last the Lord of Heaven’s Armies

will himself be Israel’s glorious crown.

He will be the pride and joy

of the remnant of his people.

6 He will give a longing for justice

to their judges.

He will give great courage

to their warriors who stand at the gates.

5 In that day the Lord of hosts will be

For a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty

To the remnant of His people,

6 For a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment,

And for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.

5 At that time the Lord All-Powerful

will be like a beautiful crown,

like a wonderful crown of flowers

for his people who are left alive.

6 Then he will give wisdom to the judges who must decide cases

and strength to those who battle at the city gate.

5 In that day will Jehovah of hosts become a crown of glory, and a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people; 6 and a spirit of justice to him that sitteth in judgment, and strength to them that turn back the battle at the gate.

5 In that day will Jehovah of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the remnant of his people; 6 and for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.

5 When that day comes, the Lord of Armies will be 

like a glorious crown for his few remaining people. 

6 He will give a spirit of justice to those who judge. 

He will give strength to those who defend the city gates in battle. 

5 On that day

the Lord of Hosts will become a crown of beauty

and a diadem of splendor

to the remnant of His people,

6 a spirit of justice

to the one who sits in judgment,

and strength

to those who turn back the battle at the gate.

5 In that day the Lord of hosts will be a garland of glory,

and a diadem of beauty, to the remnant of his people;

6 and a spirit of justice to the one who sits in judgment,

and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.

5 In that day, Yahweh of hosts will become a garland of glory

and a diadem of beauty to the remnant of his people,

6 and a spirit of justice to the one who sits over judgment,

and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.

5 At that time the Lord who rules over all

will be like a glorious crown.

He will be like a beautiful wreath

for those of his people who will be left alive.

6 He will help those

who are fair when they judge.

He will give strength to those

who turn back their enemies at the city gate.
