God Will Forgive Israel
14 Shepherd Your people with Your staff,
The flock of Your heritage,
Who dwell [a]solitarily in a (A)woodland,
In the midst of Carmel;
Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead,
As in days of old.
16 The nations (D)shall see and be ashamed of all their might;
(E)They shall put their hand over their mouth;
Their ears shall be deaf.
17 They shall lick the (F)dust like a serpent;
(G)They shall crawl from their holes like [c]snakes of the earth.
(H)They shall be afraid of the Lord our God,
And shall fear because of You.
18 (I)Who is a God like You,
(J)Pardoning iniquity
And passing over the transgression of (K)the remnant of His heritage?
(L)He does not retain His anger forever,
Because He delights in (M)mercy.[d]
19 He will again have compassion on us,
And will subdue our iniquities.
You will cast all [e]our sins
Into the depths of the sea.
20 (N)You will give truth to Jacob
And [f]mercy to Abraham,
(O)Which You have sworn to our fathers
From days of old.

The Lord Will Comfort Zion
12 Then the Angel of the Lord answered and said, “O Lord of hosts, (A)how long will You not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which You were angry (B)these seventy years?”
13 And the Lord answered the angel who talked to me, with (C)good and comforting words. 14 So the angel who spoke with me said to me, [a]“Proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts:
“I am (D)zealous[b] for Jerusalem
And for Zion with great [c]zeal.
15 I am exceedingly angry with the nations at ease;
For (E)I was a little angry,
And they helped—but with evil intent.”
16 ‘Therefore thus says the Lord:
(F)“I am returning to Jerusalem with mercy;
My (G)house (H)shall be built in it,” says the Lord of hosts,
“And (I)a surveyor’s line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem.” ’
17 “Again proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts:
“My cities shall again [d]spread out through prosperity;
(J)The Lord will again comfort Zion,
And (K)will again choose Jerusalem.” ’ ”

That they all may call on the name of the Lord,
To serve Him with one accord.
10 (B)From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia
My worshipers,
The daughter of My dispersed ones,
Shall bring My offering.
11 In that day you shall not be shamed for any of your deeds
In which you transgress against Me;
For then I will take away from your midst
Those who (C)rejoice in your pride,
And you shall no longer be haughty
In My holy mountain.
12 I will leave in your midst
(D)A meek and humble people,
And they shall trust in the name of the Lord.
13 (E)The remnant of Israel (F)shall do no unrighteousness
(G)And speak no lies,
Nor shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth;
For (H)they shall feed their flocks and lie down,
And no one shall make them afraid.”
Joy in God’s Faithfulness
14 (I)Sing, O daughter of Zion!
Shout, O Israel!
Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,
O daughter of Jerusalem!
15 The Lord has taken away your judgments,
He has cast out your enemy.
(J)The King of Israel, the Lord, (K)is in your midst;
You shall [b]see disaster no more.
16 In that day (L)it shall be said to Jerusalem:
“Do not fear;
Zion, (M)let not your hands be weak.
17 The Lord your God (N)in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
(O)He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.”
18 “I will gather those who (P)sorrow over the appointed assembly,
Who are among you,
To whom its reproach is a burden.
19 Behold, at that time
I will deal with all who afflict you;
I will save the (Q)lame,
And gather those who were driven out;
I will appoint them for praise and fame
In every land where they were put to shame.
20 At that time (R)I will bring you back,
Even at the time I gather you;
For I will give you [c]fame and praise
Among all the peoples of the earth,
When I return your captives before your eyes,”
Says the Lord.

Restoration of Israel’s Remnant
9 “Then I will purify the lips of the peoples,
that all of them may call(A) on the name of the Lord(B)
and serve(C) him shoulder to shoulder.
10 From beyond the rivers of Cush[a](D)

11 On that day you, Jerusalem, will not be put to shame(F)
for all the wrongs you have done to me,(G)

your arrogant boasters.(H)
Never again will you be haughty
on my holy hill.(I)
12 But I will leave within you
the meek(J) and humble.
The remnant of Israel
will trust(K) in the name of the Lord.
13 They(L) will do no wrong;(M)
they will tell no lies.(N)
A deceitful tongue
will not be found in their mouths.(O)
They will eat and lie down(P)
and no one will make them afraid.(Q)”

shout aloud,(S) Israel!
Be glad and rejoice(T) 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;(U)
never again will you fear(V) any harm.(W)
16 On that day
they will say to Jerusalem,
“Do not fear, Zion;
do not let your hands hang limp.(X)
17 The Lord your God is with you,
the Mighty Warrior who saves.(Y)
He will take great delight(Z) in you;
in his love he will no longer rebuke you,(AA)
but will rejoice over you with singing.”(AB)
18 “I will remove from you
all who mourn over the loss of your appointed festivals,
which is a burden and reproach for you.
19 At that time I will deal
with all who oppressed(AC) you.
I will rescue the lame;
I will gather the exiles.(AD)
I will give them praise(AE) and honor
in every land where they have suffered shame.
20 At that time I will gather you;
at that time I will bring(AF) you home.
I will give you honor(AG) and praise(AH)
among all the peoples of the earth
when I restore your fortunes[b](AI)
before your very eyes,”
says the Lord.
