They shall go out and gaze
On the corpses of those who rebelled against Me:
Their worms shall not die,
Nor their fire be quenched;
They shall be a horror
To all flesh.
Hear the word of GOD,
You who are concerned about God’s word!
Your own kindred who hate you,
Who spurn you because of Me, are saying,
“Let GOD manifest the divine Presence,
So that we may look upon your joy.”
But theirs shall be the shame.
Hark, tumult from the city,
Thunder from the temple!
It is GOD’s thunder
As retribution is dealt to the foe.
Before she labored, she was delivered;
Before her pangs came, she bore a son.
Who ever heard the like?
Who ever witnessed such events?
Can a land pass through travail
In a single day?
Or is a nation born
All at once?
Yet Zion travailed
And at once bore her children!
Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad for her,
All you who love her!
Join in her jubilation,
All you who mourned over her—
That you may suck from her breast
Consolation to the full,
That you may draw from her bosom
Glory to your delight.
For thus said GOD:
I will extend to her
Prosperity like a stream,
The wealth of nations
Like a wadi in flood;
And you shall drink of it.
So I will comfort you:
You shall find comfort in Jerusalem.
You shall see and your heart shall rejoice,
Your limbs shall flourish like grass.
GOD’s power shall be revealed
On behalf of those who render service;
But [God] shall rage against all foes.
See, GOD is coming with fire—
With chariots like a whirlwind—
To vent anger in fury,
And rebuke in flaming fire.
For with fire will contend,
With the sword, against all flesh;
And many shall be GOD’s slain.
[The time] has come to gather all the nations and tongues; they shall come and behold My glory.
I will set a sign among them, and send from them survivors to the nations: and the distant coasts, that have never heard My fame nor beheld My glory. They shall declare My glory among these nations.
And out of all the nations, said GOD, they shall bring all your kindred on horses, in chariots and drays, on mules and dromedaries, to Jerusalem My holy mountain as an offering to GOD—just as the Israelites bring an offering in a pure vessel to the House of GOD.
And from them likewise I will take some to be levitical priests, said GOD.
For as the new heaven and the new earth
That I will make
Shall endure by My will
—declares GOD—
So shall your seed and your name endure.
And new moon after new moon,
And sabbath after sabbath,
All flesh shall come to worship Me
—said GOD.
They shall go out and gaze
On the corpses of those who rebelled against Me:
Their worms shall not die,
Nor their fire be quenched;
They shall be a horror
To all flesh.
And new moon after new moon,
And sabbath after sabbath,
All flesh shall come to worship Me
—said GOD.
66
Thus said GOD:
The heaven is My throne
And the earth is My footstool:
Where could you build a house for Me,
What place could serve as My abode?
All this was made by My hand,
And thus it all came into being
—declares GOD.
Yet to such a one I look:
To the poor and brokenhearted,
Who is concerned about My word.
You shall be a glorious crown
In the hand of GOD,
And a royal diadem
In the palm of your God.
62
For the sake of Zion I will not be silent,
For the sake of Jerusalem I will not be still,
Till her victory emerge resplendent
And her triumph like a flaming torch.
Nations shall see your victory,
And every king your majesty;
And you shall be called by a new name
That GOD shall bestow.
You shall be a glorious crown
In the hand of GOD,
And a royal diadem
In the palm of your God.
Nevermore shall you be called “Forsaken,”
Nor shall your land be called “Desolate”;
But you shall be called “I delight in her,”
And your land “Espoused.”
For GOD takes delight in you,
And your land shall be espoused.
As a youth espouses a maiden,
Your sons shall espouse you;
And as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,
So will your God rejoice over you.
Upon your walls, O Jerusalem,
I have set sentries,
Who shall never be silent
By day or by night.
O you, the ETERNAL One’s remembrancers,
Take no rest
And give no rest to [God],
Until Jerusalem is established
And she is made renowned on earth.
GOD has sworn with the right hand,
With a mighty arm:
Nevermore will I give your new grain
To your enemies for food,
Nor shall foreigners drink the new wine
For which you have labored.
But those who harvest it shall eat it
And give praise to GOD;
And those who gather it shall drink it
In My sacred courts.
Pass through, pass through the gates!
Clear the road for the people;
Build up, build up the highway,
Remove the rocks!
Raise an ensign over the peoples!
See, GOD has proclaimed
To the end of the earth:
Announce to Fair Zion,
Your Deliverer is coming!
See, [God] has brought along the reward,
The recompense is in view.
And they shall be called, “The Holy People,
GOD’s Redeemed,”
And you shall be called, “Sought Out,
A City Not Forsaken.”
