Israel’s Joy and Restoration

14 ⁿSing aloud, O daughter of Zion;
shout, O Israel!
Rejoice and exult with all your heart,
O daughter of Jerusalem!
15 The Lord has taken away the judgments against you;
he has cleared away your enemies.
^oThe King of Israel, ^pthe Lord, is in your midst;
you shall never again fear evil.
16 ^qOn that day it shall be said to Jerusalem:
“Fear not, O Zion;
^rlet not your hands grow weak.
17 ^sThe Lord your God is in your midst,
^ta mighty one who will save;
^uhe will rejoice over you with gladness;
he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.
18 I will gather those of you who mourn ^vfor the festival,
so that you will no longer suffer reproach. ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain}
19 Behold, at that time ^xI will deal
with all your oppressors.
And ^yI will save the lame
and gather the outcast,
and I will change ^ztheir shame into ^aapraise
and renown in all the earth.
20 ^abAt that time I will bring you in,
at the time when I gather you together;
for I will make you renowned and praised
among all the peoples of the earth,
^acwhen I restore your fortunes
before your eyes,” says the Lord.

6 Up! Up! ^anFlee from the land of the north, declares the Lord. For I have ^aospread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, declares the Lord. 7 ^apUp! Escape to Zion, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.

3 Thus says the Lord: ^aqI have returned to Zion and ^arwill dwell in the midst of Jerusalem, ^asand Jerusalem shall be called the faithful city, ^atand the mountain of the Lord of hosts, the holy mountain. 4 Thus says the Lord of hosts: ^auOld men and old women shall again sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each with staff in hand because of great age. 5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets. 6 Thus says the Lord of hosts: ^avIf it is marvelous in the sight of the remnant of this people in those days, ^awshould it also be marvelous in my sight, declares the Lord of hosts? 7 Thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, ^axI will save my people ^ayfrom the east country and from the west country, 8 and I will bring them to dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. ^azAnd they shall be my people, and I will be their God, ^bain faithfulness and in righteousness.”
