Restoration of Israel’s Remnant

9 “Then I will purify the lips of the peoples,

that all of them may calls on the name of the Lordt

and serveu him shoulder to shoulder.

10 From beyond the rivers of Cushd v

my worshipers, my scattered people,

will bring me offerings.w

11 On that day you, Jerusalem, will not be put to shamex

for all the wrongs you have done to me,y

because I will remove from you

your arrogant boasters.z

Never again will you be haughty

on my holy hill.a

12 But I will leave within you

the meekb and humble.

The remnant of Israel

will trustc in the name of the Lord.

13 Theyd will do no wrong;e

they will tell no lies.f

A deceitful tongue

will not be found in their mouths.g

They will eat and lie downh

and no one will make them afraid.i”

14 Sing, Daughter Zion;j

shout aloud,k Israel!

Be glad and rejoicel with all your heart,

Daughter Jerusalem!

15 The Lord has taken away your punishment,

he has turned back your enemy.

The Lord, the King of Israel, is with you;m

never again will you fearn any harm.o

16 On that day

they will say to Jerusalem,

“Do not fear, Zion;

do not let your hands hang limp.p

17 The Lord your God is with you,

the Mighty Warrior who saves.q

He will take great delightr in you;

in his love he will no longer rebuke you,s

but will rejoice over you with singing.”t
