With his love, he will calm all your
fears.*
He will rejoice over you with joyful
songs.”
My scattered people who live beyond
the rivers of Ethiopia*
will come to present their offerings.
On that day you will no longer need to
be ashamed,
for you will no longer be rebels against me.
I will remove all proud and arrogant
people from among you.
There will be no more haughtiness on
my holy mountain.
Those who are left will be the lowly and
humble,
for it is they who trust in the name of
the Lord.
The remnant of Israel will do no wrong;
they will never tell lies or deceive one
another.
They will eat and sleep in safety,
and no one will make them afraid.”
Sing, O daughter of Zion;
shout aloud, O Israel!
Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,
O daughter of Jerusalem!
For the Lord will remove his hand of
judgment
and will disperse the armies of your
enemy.
And the Lord himself, the King of Israel,
will live among you!
At last your troubles will be over,
and you will never again fear disaster.
On that day the announcement to
Jerusalem will be,
“Cheer up, Zion! Don’t be afraid!
For the Lord your God is living among you.
He is a mighty savior.
He will take delight in you with gladness.

is living among you. . . .

all your fears. He will

joyful songs.”

“I will gather you who mourn for the
appointed festivals;
you will be disgraced no more.*
And I will deal severely with all who have
oppressed you.
I will save the weak and helpless ones;
I will bring together
those who were chased away.
I will give glory and fame to my former
exiles,
wherever they have been mocked and
shamed.
On that day I will gather you together
and bring you home again.
I will give you a good name, a name of
distinction,
among all the nations of the earth,
as I restore your fortunes before their
very eyes.
I, the Lord, have spoken!”
