⁷ Water shall flow from his buckets, His seed shall be in many waters, His king shall be higher than Agag, His kingdom shall be exalted.

³⁰ But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but to the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your heart.

²⁶ I will restore your judges as at the first, And your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you shall be called 'The city of righteousness, A faithful town.'

²⁷ Zion shall be redeemed with justice, And her converts with righteousness.

²¹ With whom my hand shall be established. My arm will also strengthen him.

²² No enemy will tax him. No wicked man will oppress him.

²³ I will beat down his adversaries before him, And strike those who hate him.

²⁴ But my faithfulness and my loving kindness will be with him. In my name, his horn will be exalted.

²⁵ I will set his hand also on the sea, And his right hand on the rivers.

²⁶ He will call to me, 'You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation!'

²⁷ I will also appoint him my firstborn, The highest of the kings of the earth.

²⁸ I will keep my loving kindness for him forevermore. My covenant will stand firm with him.

²⁹ I will also make his seed endure forever, And his throne as the days of heaven.

³³ But I will not completely take my loving kindness from him, Nor allow my faithfulness to fail.

³⁴ I will not break my covenant, Nor alter what my lips have uttered.
