* "
In that day ,"
says Yahweh , "
I will assemble that which is lame ,
and I will gather that which is driven away ,
and that which I have afflicted ;
*
and I will make that which was lame a remnant ,
and that which was cast far off a strong nation :
and Yahweh will reign over them on Mount Zion from then on ,
even forever ."
*
You ,
tower of the flock ,
the hill of the daughter of Zion ,
to you it will come ,
yes ,
the former dominion will come ,
the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem .
*
Now why do you cry out aloud ?
Is there no king in you ?
Has your counselor perished ,
that pains have taken hold of you as of a woman in travail ?
*
Be in pain ,
and labor to bring forth ,
daughter of Zion ,
like a woman in travail ;
for now you will go forth out of the city ,
and will dwell in the field ,
and will come even to Babylon .
There you will be rescued .
There Yahweh will redeem you from the hand of your enemies .
*
Now many nations have assembled against you ,
that say , "
Let her be defiled ,
and let our eye gloat over Zion ."
*
But they don '
t know the thoughts of Yahweh ,
neither do they understand his counsel ;
for he has gathered them like the sheaves to the threshing floor .
*
Arise and thresh ,
daughter of Zion ;
for I will make your horn iron ,
and I will make your hoofs brass ;
and you will beat in pieces many peoples :
and I will devote their gain to Yahweh ,
and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth .
