13. The few remaining from Israel won’t commit injustice;they won’t tell lies;a deceitful tongue won’t be found on their lips.They will graze and lie down;no one will make them afraid.
14. Rejoice, Daughter Zion! Shout, Israel!Rejoice and exult with all your heart, Daughter Jerusalem.
15. The Lord has removed your judgment;he has turned away your enemy.The Lord, the king of Israel, is in your midst;you will no longer fear evil.
16. On that day, it will be said to Jerusalem:Don’t fear, Zion.Don’t let your hands fall.
17. The Lord your God is in your midst—a warrior bringing victory.He will create calm with his love;he will rejoice over you with singing.
18. I will remove from you those worried about the appointed feasts.They have been a burden for her, a reproach.
19. Watch what I am about to do to all your oppressors at that time.I will deliver the lame;I will gather the outcast.I will change their shame into praise and fame throughout the earth.
20. At that time, I will bring all of you back,at the time when I gather you.I will give you fame and praise among all the neighboring peopleswhen I restore your possessions and you can see them—says the Lord.
