At your feet they all bow down,^(K)
    and from you receive instruction,
⁴ the law that Moses gave us,^(L)

You tested^(U) him at Massah;
    you contended with him at the waters of Meribah.^(V)

    ‘I have no regard for them.’
He did not recognize his brothers
    or acknowledge his own children,
but he watched over your word
    and guarded your covenant.^(X)
10 He teaches^(Y) your precepts to Jacob
    and your law to Israel.^(Z)

    and the fruitfulness of the everlasting hills;
¹⁶ with the best gifts of the earth and its fullness

Let all these rest on the head of Joseph,
    on the brow of the prince among^[e] his brothers.^(AM)
17 In majesty he is like a firstborn bull;
    his horns^(AN) are the horns of a wild ox.^(AO)
With them he will gore^(AP) the nations,
    even those at the ends of the earth.
Such are the ten thousands of Ephraim;^(AQ)
    such are the thousands of Manasseh.^(AR)”

    and his judgments concerning Israel.”

He will drive out your enemies before you,^(BQ)
    saying, ‘Destroy them!’^(BR)
28 So Israel will live in safety;^(BS)
    Jacob will dwell^[f] secure
in a land of grain and new wine,
    where the heavens drop dew.^(BT)
29 Blessed are you, Israel!^(BU)
    Who is like you,^(BV)
    a people saved by the Lord?^(BW)

Though in anger I struck you,
    in favor^(AK) I will show you compassion.^(AL)
11 Your gates^(AM) will always stand open,
    they will never be shut, day or night,
so that people may bring you the wealth of the nations^(AN)—

    Zion^(AY) of the Holy One^(AZ) of Israel.

¹⁵ “Although you have been forsaken^(BA) and hated,
    with no one traveling^(BB) through,
I will make you the everlasting pride^(BC)
    and the joy^(BD) of all generations.
¹⁶ You will drink the milk of nations
    and be nursed^(BE) at royal breasts.
Then you will know^(BF) that I, the Lord, am your Savior,^(BG)
    your Redeemer,^(BH) the Mighty One of Jacob.^(BI)
17 Instead of bronze I will bring you gold,^(BJ)
    and silver in place of iron.
Instead of wood I will bring you bronze,
    and iron in place of stones.
I will make peace^(BK) your governor
    and well-being your ruler.^(BL)
18 No longer will violence^(BM) be heard in your land,
    nor ruin or destruction^(BN) within your borders,
but you will call your walls Salvation^(BO)
