¹² Yahweh will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.

⁹ For Yahweh's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

¹⁷ "Proclaim further, saying, 'Thus says Yahweh of Hosts: "My cities will again overflow with prosperity, and Yahweh will again comfort Zion, and will again choose Jerusalem."'"

¹⁶ The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: Yahweh of Hosts is his name.

⁵ Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice, and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own possession from among all peoples; for all the earth is mine;

⁶ and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation.' These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel."

¹² Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, The people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.

⁸ Arise, God, judge the earth, For you inherit all of the nations.

⁴ For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel for his own possession.

⁹ you whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and called from the corners of it, and said to you, You are my servant, I have chosen you and not cast you away;

¹⁹ The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and [Israel] is the tribe of his inheritance: Yahweh of Hosts is his name.
