    and no one will make them afraid.(F)

14 Sing, Daughter Zion;(G)
    shout aloud,(H) Israel!
Be glad and rejoice(I) with all your heart,
    Daughter Jerusalem!
15 The Lord has taken away your punishment,
    he has turned back your enemy.
The Lord, the King of Israel, is with you;(J)
    never again will you fear(K) any harm.(L)

    in every land where they have suffered shame.
