In that daythe LORDof hostswill becomea beautifulcrownAnd a gloriousdiademto the remnantof His people;
"I puton righteousness,and it clothedme; My justicewas like a robeand a turban.
And there will be a highwayfrom AssyriaFor the remnantof His peoplewhowill be left,Justas there was for IsraelIn the daythat they cameup out of the landof Egypt.
From the endsof the earthwe hearsongs,"Gloryto the RighteousOne,"But I say,"Woeto me! Woeto me! Alasfor me! The treacherousdealtreacherously,And the treacherousdealverytreacherously."
It will comeabout that he who is leftin Zionand remainsin Jerusalemwill be calledholy--everyonewho is recordedfor lifein Jerusalem.
"You will winnowthem, and the windwill carrythem away, And the stormwill scatterthem; But you will rejoicein the LORD,You will gloryin the HolyOneof Israel.
"In the LORDallthe offspringof IsraelWill be justifiedand will glory."
"Nolongerwill you havethe sunfor lightby day,Norfor brightnesswill the moongiveyou light;But you will havethe LORDfor an everlastinglight,And your Godfor your glory.
You will also be a crownof beautyin the handof the LORD,And a royaldiademin the handof your God.
"I also puta ringin your nostril,earringsin your earsand a beautifulcrownon your head.
"Then the clansof Judahwill sayin their hearts,A strongsupportfor us are the inhabitantsof Jerusalemthrough the LORDof hosts,their God.'
A LIGHTOF REVELATIONTO THE GENTILES,And the gloryof Your peopleIsrael."
For momentary,lightafflictionis producingfor us an eternalweightof gloryfarbeyondall comparison,
And when the Chief Shepherdappears,you will receivethe unfadingcrownof glory.
