For the people shall live in Zion, at Jerusalem; Surely you shall weep no more. Favoring He will favor you at the sound of your cry. When He hears, He will answer you.
So the Lord Jehovah of Hosts says this: Oh My people who dwell in Zion, do not fear Assyria. He shall strike you with the rod, and he shall lift up his staff against you in the way of Egypt.
He will swallow up death forever! And the Lord Jehovah will wipe away tears from all faces. And He shall turn aside the reproach of His people from all the earth; for Jehovah has spoken.
And ones being ransomed of Jehovah shall return and enter Zion with a ringing cry of joy. and with everlasting joy on their head; gladness and joy shall reach them, and sorrow and sighing shall flee.
Afflicted ones and the needy ones seek water, and there is not any; their tongue is parched for thirst. I, Jehovah will answer them, the God of Israel; I will not leave them.
Then you shall call, and Jehovah will answer; you shall cry, and He shall say, Behold Me. If you put the yoke away from your midst, the sending out of the finger, and the speaking of iniquity;
Your sun shall not go in any more, and your moon shall not be removed; for Jehovah will become your everlasting light; and the days of your mourning shall end.
And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah one to inherit My mountains. And My elect shall inherit, and My servants shall live there.
And they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and beam over the goodness of Jehovah, for grain, and for new wine, and for oil, and for the sons of the flock and the herd. And their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not add to languish any more.
So says Jehovah, Hold back your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears. For there will be a reward for your work, a statement of Jehovah, and they shall return from the land of the enemy.
They shall come with weeping, and I will lead them with supplications. I will cause them to walk by torrents of waters, in a right way; they will not stumble in it. For I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is My first-born.
For in My holy mountain in the mountain height of Israel, a statement of the Lord Jehovah, all the house of Israel shall serve Me there, all of them in the land. There I will accept them, and there I will seek your heave offerings and the firstfruits of your offerings, with all your holy things.
Because the Lamb in the midst of the throne will shepherd them, and will lead them on the living springs of waters; and God will wipe off every tear from their eyes.
