11 On that day the Lord will again raise[a] his hand to recover the remnant that is left of his people, from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the coastlands of the sea.(A)

12 He will raise a signal for the nations
    and will assemble the outcasts of Israel
and gather the dispersed of Judah
    from the four corners of the earth.(B)
13 The jealousy of Ephraim shall depart;
    the hostility of Judah shall be cut off;
Ephraim shall not be jealous of Judah,
    and Judah shall not be hostile toward Ephraim.(C)
14 But they shall swoop down on the backs of the Philistines in the west;
    together they shall plunder the people of the east.
They shall put forth their hand against Edom and Moab,
    and the Ammonites shall obey them.(D)
15 And the Lord will dry up[b]
    the tongue of the sea of Egypt
and will wave his hand over the River
    with his scorching wind
and will split it into seven channels
    and make a way to cross on foot;(E)
16 so there shall be a highway from Assyria
    for the remnant that is left of his people,
as there was for Israel
    when they came up from the land of Egypt.(F)

Thanksgiving and Praise

12 You will say on that day:
“I will give thanks to you, O Lord,
    for though you were angry with me,
your anger turned away,
    and you comforted me.(G)

Surely God is my salvation;
    I will trust and will not be afraid,
for the Lord[c] is my strength and my might;
    he has become my salvation.”(H)

With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.(I) And you will say on that day:

“Give thanks to the Lord;
    call on his name;
make known his deeds among the nations;
    proclaim that his name is exalted.

Sing praises to the Lord, for he has done gloriously;
    let this be known in all the earth.(J)
Shout aloud and sing for joy, O royal[d] Zion,
    for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.”(K)

Who has heard of such a thing?
    Who has seen such things?
Shall a land be born in one day?
    Shall a nation be delivered in one moment?
Yet as soon as Zion was in labor
    she delivered her children.(A)
Shall I open the womb and not deliver?
    says the Lord;
shall I, the one who delivers, shut the womb?
    says your God.

10 Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her,
    all you who love her;
rejoice with her in joy,
    all you who mourn over her—(B)
11 that you may nurse and be satisfied
    from her consoling breast,
that you may drink deeply with delight
    from her glorious bosom.(C)

12 For thus says the Lord:
I will extend prosperity to her like a river
    and the wealth of the nations like an overflowing stream,
and you shall nurse and be carried on her arm
    and bounced on her knees.(D)
13 As a mother comforts her child,
    so I will comfort you;
    you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.(E)

The Reign and Indignation of God

14 You shall see, and your heart shall rejoice;
    your bodies[a] shall flourish like the grass,
and it shall be known that the power of the Lord is with his servants,
    and his indignation is against his enemies.(F)
15 For the Lord will come in fire
    and his chariots in a whirlwind,[b]
to vent his anger in fury
    and his rebuke in flames of fire.(G)
16 For by fire will the Lord execute judgment,
    and by his sword on all flesh;
    and those slain by the Lord shall be many.(H)

17 Those who sanctify and purify themselves to go into the gardens, following the one in the center, eating the flesh of pigs, vermin, and rodents, shall come to an end together, says the Lord,(I) 18 for I know[c] their works and their thoughts.

I am[d] coming to gather all nations and tongues, and they shall come and shall see my glory,(J) 19 and I will set a sign among them. From them I will send survivors to the nations, to Tarshish, Put,[e] and Lud, to Meshech,[f] Tubal, and Javan, to the coastlands far away that have not heard of my fame or seen my glory, and they shall declare my glory among the nations.(K) 20 They shall bring all your kindred from all the nations as an offering to the Lord, on horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and on dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the Lord, just as the Israelites bring a grain offering in a clean vessel to the house of the Lord.(L)

Who has ever heard of such things?
    Who has ever seen(A) things like this?
Can a country be born in a day(B)
    or a nation be brought forth in a moment?
Yet no sooner is Zion in labor
    than she gives birth to her children.(C)
Do I bring to the moment of birth(D)
    and not give delivery?” says the Lord.
“Do I close up the womb
    when I bring to delivery?” says your God.
10 “Rejoice(E) with Jerusalem and be glad for her,
    all you who love(F) her;
rejoice greatly with her,
    all you who mourn(G) over her.
11 For you will nurse(H) and be satisfied
    at her comforting breasts;(I)
you will drink deeply
    and delight in her overflowing abundance.”(J)

12 For this is what the Lord says:

“I will extend peace(K) to her like a river,(L)
    and the wealth(M) of nations like a flooding stream;
you will nurse and be carried(N) on her arm
    and dandled on her knees.
13 As a mother comforts her child,(O)
    so will I comfort(P) you;
    and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.”

14 When you see this, your heart will rejoice(Q)
    and you will flourish(R) like grass;
the hand(S) of the Lord will be made known to his servants,(T)
    but his fury(U) will be shown to his foes.
15 See, the Lord is coming with fire,(V)
    and his chariots(W) are like a whirlwind;(X)
he will bring down his anger with fury,
    and his rebuke(Y) with flames of fire.
16 For with fire(Z) and with his sword(AA)
    the Lord will execute judgment(AB) on all people,
    and many will be those slain(AC) by the Lord.

17 “Those who consecrate and purify themselves to go into the gardens,(AD) following one who is among those who eat the flesh of pigs,(AE) rats(AF) and other unclean things—they will meet their end(AG) together with the one they follow,” declares the Lord.

18 “And I, because of what they have planned and done,(AH) am about to come[a] and gather the people of all nations(AI) and languages, and they will come and see my glory.(AJ)

19 “I will set a sign(AK) among them, and I will send some of those who survive(AL) to the nations—to Tarshish,(AM) to the Libyans[b] and Lydians(AN) (famous as archers), to Tubal(AO) and Greece,(AP) and to the distant islands(AQ) that have not heard of my fame or seen my glory.(AR) They will proclaim my glory among the nations. 20 And they will bring(AS) all your people, from all the nations, to my holy mountain(AT) in Jerusalem as an offering to the Lord—on horses, in chariots and wagons, and on mules and camels,”(AU) says the Lord. “They will bring them, as the Israelites bring their grain offerings, to the temple of the Lord in ceremonially clean vessels.(AV)
