²⁵ The Lord Almighty will bless^(A) them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people,^(B) Assyria my handiwork,^(C) and Israel my inheritance.^(D)”

¹⁴ This is what the Lord says: “As for all my wicked neighbors who seize the inheritance^(A) I gave my people Israel, I will uproot^(B) them from their lands and I will uproot^(C) the people of Judah from among them. ¹⁵ But after I uproot them, I will again have compassion^(D) and will bring^(E) each of them back to their own inheritance and their own country. ¹⁶ And if they learn^(F) well the ways of my people and swear by my name, saying, ‘As surely as the Lord lives’^(G)—even as they once taught my people to swear by Baal^(H)—then they will be established among my people.^{(I) 17} But if any nation does not listen, I will completely uproot and destroy^(J) it,” declares the Lord.

¹¹ “Many nations will be joined with the Lord in that day and will become my people.^(A) I will live among you and you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.^(B)

¹⁷ If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship^(A) the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain.^{(B) 18} If the Egyptian people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. The Lord^[a] will bring on them the plague^(C) he inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.^(D)
