^19 [a]O people in Zion, ^(A)inhabitant in Jerusalem, you will ^(B)weep no longer. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will ^(C)answer you. ²⁰ The Lord has given you ^(D)bread of distress and water of oppression; He, your Teacher will no longer ^(E)hide Himself, but your eyes will see your Teacher. ²¹ And your ears will hear a word behind you, “^[b]This is the ^(F)way, walk in it,” whenever you ^(G)turn to the right or to the left. ²² And you will defile your graven ^(H)images overlaid with your silver, and your molten ^(I)images plated with your gold. You will scatter them as an impure thing and say to ^[c]them, “^(J)Be gone!”

²³ Then He will ^(K)give you rain for ^[d]the seed which you will sow in the ground, and bread from the produce of the ground, and it will be ^[e]rich and fat; on that day ^(L)your livestock will graze in a roomy pasture. ²⁴ Also the oxen and the donkeys which work the ground will eat salted fodder, which ^[f]has been ^(M)winnowed with shovel and fork. ²⁵ And it will be that on every lofty mountain and on ^(N)every lifted up hill there will be ^[g]streams running with water on the day of the great ^(O)slaughter, when the towers fall. ^26 (P)And the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, on the day ^(Q)Yahweh binds up the ^(R)fracture of His people and ^(S)heals the bruise ^[h]He has inflicted.
