⁹ For then I will give the people a clean language, so that they may all make prayer to the Lord and be his servants with one mind. ¹⁰ From over the rivers of Ethiopia, and from the sides of the north, they will come to me with an offering. ¹¹ In that day you will have no shame on account of all the things in which you did evil against me: for then I will take away from among you those who were lifted up in pride, and you will no longer be lifted up with pride in my holy mountain. ¹² But I will still have among you a quiet and poor people, and they will put their faith in the name of the Lord. ¹³ The rest of Israel will do no evil and say no false words; the tongue of deceit will not be seen in their mouth: for they will take their food and their rest, and no one will be a cause of fear to them. ¹⁴ Make melody, O daughter of Zion; give a loud cry, O Israel; be glad and let your heart be full of joy, O daughter of Jerusalem. ¹⁵ The Lord has taken away those who were judging you, he has sent your haters far away: the King of Israel, even the Lord, is among you: you will have no more fear of evil. ¹⁶ In that day it will be said to Jerusalem, Have no fear: O Zion, let not your hands be feeble. ¹⁷ The Lord your God is among you, as a strong saviour: he will be glad over you with joy, he will make his love new again, he will make a song of joy over you as in the time of a holy feast. ¹⁸ I will take away your troubles, lifting up your shame from off you. ¹⁹ See, at that time I will put an end to all who have been troubling you: I will give salvation to her whose steps are uncertain, and get together her who has been sent in flight; and I will make them a cause of praise and an honoured name in all the earth ²⁰ At that time I will make you come in, at that time I will get you together: for I will make you a name and a praise among all the peoples of the earth when I let your fate be changed before your eyes, says the Lord.
