² Building Jerusalem `is' Jehovah, The driven away of Israel He gathereth.

⁶ Ho, ho, and flee from the land of the north, An affirmation of Jehovah, For, as the four winds of the heavens, I have spread you abroad, An affirmation of Jehovah.

⁷ Ho, Zion, be delivered who art dwelling `with' the daughter of Babylon.

⁸ For thus said Jehovah of Hosts: After honour He hath sent me unto the nations who are spoiling you, For he who is coming against you, Is coming against the daughter of His eye.

¹⁰ Singe, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, For lo, I am coming, and have dwelt in thy midst, An affirmation of Jehovah.

¹² And Jehovah hath inherited Judah, His portion on the holy ground, And He hath fixed again on Jerusalem.

¹⁸ And I -- their works and their thoughts, I come to gather all the nations and tongues, And they have come and seen My honour.

³ To appoint to mourners in Zion, To give to them beauty instead of ashes, The oil of joy instead of mourning, A covering of praise for a spirit of weakness, And He is calling to them, `Trees of righteousness, The planting of Jehovah -- to be beautified.'

⁷ All the flock of Kedar are gathered to thee, The rams of Nebaioth do serve thee, They ascend for acceptance Mine altar, And the house of My beauty I beautify.

² And it hath come to pass, In the latter end of the days, Established is the mount of Jehovah's house, Above the top of the mounts, And it hath been lifted up above the heights, And flowed unto it have all the nations.

³ And gone have many peoples and said, `Come, and we go up unto the mount of Jehovah, Unto the house of the God of Jacob, And He doth teach us of His ways, And we walk in His paths, For from Zion goeth forth a law, And a word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.

⁶ The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His honour.

³⁵ For God doth save Zion, And doth build the cities of Judah, And they have dwelt there, and possess it.

¹⁸ Do good in Thy good pleasure with Zion, Thou dost build the walls of Jerusalem.
