Revised Standard Version

³⁷ Now therefore I entreat you to give your servant an explanation of this bewildering vision.”

³⁸ He answered me and said, “Listen to me and I will inform you, and tell you about the things which you fear, for the Most High has revealed many secrets to you. ³⁹ For he has seen your righteous conduct, that you have sorrowed continually for your people, and mourned greatly over Zion.
