²⁰ And his sons have been as aforetime, And his company before Me is established, And I have seen after all his oppressors.

³³ Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Oppressed are the sons of Israel, And the sons of Judah together, And all their captors have kept hold on them, They have refused to send them away.

³⁴ Their Redeemer `is' strong, Jehovah of Hosts `is' His name, He doth thoroughly plead their cause, So as to cause the land to rest, And He hath given trouble to the inhabitants of Babylon.

³⁹ and I have given to them one heart, and one way, to fear Me all the days, for good to them, and to their sons after them:

¹⁶ Therefore all consuming thee are consumed, And all thine adversaries -- all of them -- Into captivity do go, And thy spoilers have been for a spoil, And all thy plunderers I give up to plunder.

³ Holy `is' Israel to Jehovah, The first-fruit of His increase, All consuming him are guilty, Evil cometh in unto them, an affirmation of Jehovah.

²² Thus said thy Lord Jehovah, and thy God, He pleadeth `for' his people: `Lo, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of trembling, The goblet, the cup of My fury, Thou dost not add to drink it any more.

²⁶ And I have caused thine oppressors to eat their own flesh, And as new wine they drink their own blood, And known have all flesh that I, Jehovah, Thy saviour, and thy redeemer, `Am' the Mighty One of Jacob!'

²⁶ And I give back thy judges as at the first, And thy counsellors as in the beginning, After this thou art called, `A city of righteousness -- a faithful city.'

²⁷ Zion in judgment is redeemed, And her captivity in righteousness.

²⁸ The sons of Thy servants do continue, And their seed before Thee is established!

¹⁸ This is written for a later generation, And the people created do praise Jah.

¹⁶ Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, And Thine honour on their sons.

¹⁷ And let the pleasantness of Jehovah our God be upon us, And the work of our hands establish on us, Yea, the work of our hands establish it!

⁵ and thy name is no more called Abram, but thy name hath been Abraham, for father of a multitude of nations have I made thee;

⁶ and I have made thee exceeding fruitful, and made thee become nations, and kings go out from thee.

⁷ `And I have established My covenant between Me and thee, and thy seed after thee, to their generations, for a covenant age-during, to become God to thee, and to thy seed after thee;

⁸ and I have given to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings, the whole land of Canaan, for a possession age-during, and I have become their God.'

⁹ And God saith unto Abraham, `And thou dost keep My covenant, thou and thy seed after thee, to their generations;

¹⁴ In righteousness thou establishest thyself, Be far from oppression, for thou fearest not, And from ruin, for it cometh not near unto thee.
