13. The remnant of Israel will no longerdo wrong or tell lies;a deceitful tongue will not be foundin their mouths.But they will pasture and lie down,with nothing to make them afraid.
14. Sing for joy, Daughter Zion;shout loudly, Israel!Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,Daughter Jerusalem!
15. The Lord has removed your punishment;He has turned back your enemy.The King of Israel, Yahweh, is among you;you need no longer fear harm.
16. On that day it will be said to Jerusalem:“Do not fear;Zion, do not let your hands grow weak.
17. Yahweh your God is among you,a warrior who saves.He will rejoice over you with gladness.He will bring you quietness with His love.He will delight in you with shouts of joy.”
18. I will gather those who have been driven from the appointed festivals;they will be a tribute from you and a reproach on her.
19. Yes, at that timeI will deal with all who afflict you.I will save the lame and gather the scattered; I will make those who were disgracedthroughout the earthreceive praise and fame.
20. At that time I will bring you back,yes, at the time I will gather you.I will give you fame and praiseamong all the peoples of the earth,when I restore your fortunes before your eyes.Yahweh has spoken.
