¹⁶ You will winnow^(A) them, the wind will pick them up,
    and a gale^(B) will blow them away.^(C)
But you will rejoice^(D) in the Lord
    and glory^(E) in the Holy One^(F) of Israel.

² I will send foreigners^(A) to Babylon
    to winnow^(B) her and to devastate her land;
they will oppose her on every side
    in the day^(C) of her disaster.

¹⁸ yet I will rejoice in the Lord,^(A)
    I will be joyful in God my Savior.^(B)

⁷ I will winnow^(A) them with a winnowing fork
    at the city gates of the land.
I will bring bereavement^(B) and destruction on my people,^(C)
    for they have not changed their ways.^(D)

“Let not the wise boast of their wisdom^(A)
    or the strong boast of their strength^(B)
    or the rich boast of their riches,^(C)
24 but let the one who boasts boast^(D) about this:
    that they have the understanding to know^(E) me,
that I am the Lord,^(F) who exercises kindness,^(G)
    justice and righteousness^(H) on earth,
    for in these I delight,”
declares the Lord.

¹⁰ I delight greatly in the Lord;
    my soul rejoices^(A) in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
    and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness,^(B)
as a bridegroom adorns his head^(C) like a priest,
    and as a bride^(D) adorns herself with her jewels.
¹¹ For as the soil makes the sprout come up
    and a garden^(E) causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness^(F)
    and praise spring up before all nations.

²⁴ They will say of me, ‘In the Lord alone
    are deliverance^(A) and strength.^(B)’”
All who have raged against him
    will come to him and be put to shame.^(C)
25 But all the descendants^(D) of Israel
    will find deliverance^(E) in the Lord
    and will make their boast in him.^(F)
