¹⁹ For the people ^(A)shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem;
You shall ^(B)weep no more.
He will be very gracious to you at the sound of your cry;
When He hears it, He will ^(C)answer you.
²⁰ And though the Lord gives you
^(D)The bread of adversity and the water of ^[a]affliction,
Yet ^(E)your teachers will not be moved into a corner anymore,
But your eyes shall see your teachers.
²¹ Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying,
“This is the way, walk in it,”
Whenever you ^(F)turn to the right hand
Or whenever you turn to the left.
^22 (G)You will also defile the covering of your images of silver,
And the ornament of your molded images of gold.
You will throw them away as an unclean thing;
^(H)You will say to them, “Get away!”

^23 (I)Then He will give the rain for your seed
With which you sow the ground,
And bread of the increase of the earth;
It will be ^[b]fat and plentiful.
In that day your cattle will feed
In large pastures.
²⁴ Likewise the oxen and the young donkeys that work the ground
Will eat cured fodder,
Which has been winnowed with the shovel and fan.
²⁵ There will be ^(J)on every high mountain
And on every high hill
Rivers and streams of waters,
In the day of the ^(K)great slaughter,
When the towers fall.
²⁶ Moreover ^(L)the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun,
And the light of the sun will be sevenfold,
As the light of seven days,
In the day that the Lord binds up the bruise of His people
And heals the stroke of their wound.
