    (A) and now another nation[a]
has taken you prisoner
    for no reason at all.
Your leaders groan with pain,[b]
and day after day
    my own name is cursed.
My people, you will learn
who I am and who is speaking
    because I am here.

On the mountains a messenger
    announces to Jerusalem,
“Good news! You're saved.
There will be peace.
    Your God is now King.”
