7. Look out, Zion.Flee, you who dwell with Daughter Babylon!

8. The Lord of heavenly forces proclaims (after his glory sent me)concerning the nations plundering you:Those who strike you strike the pupil of my eye.

10. Rejoice and be glad, Daughter Zion,because I am about to come and dwell among you, says the Lord.

11. Many nations will be joined to the Lord on that day.They will become my people,and I will dwell among youso you will know that the Lord of heavenly forces sent me to you."

12. The Lord will possess Judah as his inheritance upon the holy land;he will again choose Jerusalem.

13. Be silent, everyone, in the Lord’spresence, because he has moved from his holy habitation!
