‘Peoples shall yet come,
Inhabitants of many cities;
²¹ The inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying,
^(A)“Let us continue to go and pray before the Lord,
And seek the Lord of hosts.
I myself will go also.”
²² Yes, ^(B)many peoples and strong nations
Shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem,
And to pray before the Lord.’

⁴ “In those days and in that time,” says the Lord,
“The children of Israel shall come,
^(A)They and the children of Judah together;
^(B)With continual weeping they shall come,
^(C)And seek the Lord their God.
⁵ They shall ask the way to Zion,
With their faces toward it, saying,
‘Come and let us join ourselves to the Lord
In ^(D)a perpetual covenant
That will not be forgotten.’

⁴ “Listen to Me, My people;
And give ear to Me, O My nation:
^(A)For law will proceed from Me,
And I will make My justice rest
^(B)As a light of the peoples.
^5 (C)My righteousness is near,
My salvation has gone forth,
^(D)And My arms will judge the peoples;
^(E)The coastlands will wait upon Me,
And ^(F)on My arm they will trust.

⁸ Good and upright is the Lord;
Therefore He teaches sinners in the way.
⁹ The humble He guides in justice,
And the humble He teaches His way.

^(A)“Their sound has gone out to all the earth,
And their words to the ends of the world.”
