15. The Lord has reversed the judgments against you.He has forced out your enemies.The king of Israel, the Lord, is with you.You will never fear disaster again.
16. On that day Jerusalem will be told,“Do not be afraid, Zion!Do not lose courage!”
17. The Lord your God is with you.He is a hero who saves you.He happily rejoices over you,renews you with his love,and celebrates over you with shouts of joy.
18. “I will gather those among you who are troubled because of the festivals.They bear a burden of disgrace.
19. At that timeI will deal with all who have overpowered you.I will rescue those who are lame.I will gather those who have been scattered.I will make them praised and famous in all the world,though they had been ashamed.
20. At that time I will bring you ⌊home⌋.Yes, at that time I will gather you together.I will make you famous and praised among all the people of the earthwhen I restore your fortunes right before your eyes,” says the Lord.
