[a]You, Zion! (A)Escape, you who are living with the daughter of Babylon.” For the Lord of armies says this: “After (B)glory He has sent me against the nations that plunder you, for the one who touches you, touches the [b](C)apple of His eye. For behold, I am going to (D)wave My hand over them so that they will be (E)plunder for their slaves. Then you will know that the Lord of armies has sent Me. 10 (F)Shout for joy and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for behold I am coming and I will (G)dwell in your midst,” declares the Lord. 11 “And (H)many nations will join themselves to the Lord on that day and will become My people. Then I will (I)dwell in your midst, and you will (J)know that the Lord of armies has sent Me to you. 12 And the Lord will [c](K)possess Judah as His portion in the holy land, and will again (L)choose Jerusalem.

13 [d](M)Be silent, all [e]mankind, before the Lord; for He has (N)roused Himself from His holy dwelling.”
