^(A)“The Deliverer will come ^(B)from Zion,
    he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”;

^20 (A)“And ^(B)a Redeemer will come to Zion,
    to those in Jacob who turn from transgression,” declares the Lord.

³⁵ Thus says the Lord,
who ^(M)gives the sun for light by day
    and ^(N)the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night,
who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—
    ^(O)the Lord of hosts is his name:
^36 (P)“If this fixed order departs
    from before me, declares the Lord,
then shall the offspring of Israel cease
    from being a nation before me forever.”

³⁷ Thus says the Lord:
“If the heavens above can be measured,
    and the foundations of the earth below can be explored,
^(Q)then I will cast off all the offspring of Israel
    for all that they have done,
declares the Lord.”

⁷ Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
    When the Lord ^(A)restores the fortunes of his people,
    let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.

^6 (A)“I will strengthen the house of Judah,
    and ^(B)I will save the house of Joseph.
^(C)I will bring them back ^(D)because I have compassion on them,
    and they shall be as though I had not rejected them,
    for ^(E)I am the Lord their God and I will answer them.
⁷ Then Ephraim shall become like a mighty warrior,
    and ^(F)their hearts shall be glad as with wine.
Their children shall see it and be glad;
    their hearts shall rejoice in the Lord.

^8 (G)“I will whistle for them and ^(H)gather them in,
    for I have redeemed them,
    and ^(I)they shall be as many as they were before.
^9 (J)Though I scattered them among the nations,
    yet in far countries ^(K)they shall remember me,
    and with their children they shall live and return.
^10 (L)I will bring them home from the land of Egypt,
    and gather them from Assyria,
and ^(M)I will bring them to the land of Gilead and to Lebanon,
    ^(N)till there is no room for them.
^11 (O)He shall pass through the sea of troubles
    and strike down the waves of the sea,
    ^(P)and all the depths of the Nile shall be dried up.
The pride of Assyria shall be laid low,
    and ^(Q)the scepter of Egypt shall depart.
^12 (R)I will make them strong in the Lord,
    and ^(S)they shall walk in his name,”
declares the Lord.

^16 (A)The Lord roars from Zion,
    and ^(B)utters his voice from Jerusalem,
    ^(C)and the heavens and the earth quake.
But the Lord is ^(D)a refuge to his people,
    a stronghold to the people of Israel.

¹⁸ “And in that day
^(I)the mountains shall drip sweet wine,
    and the hills shall flow with milk,
and ^(J)all the streambeds of Judah
    shall flow with water;
^(K)and a fountain shall come forth from the house of the Lord
    and water the Valley of ^(L)Shittim.

^19 (M)“Egypt shall become a desolation
    and ^(N)Edom a desolate wilderness,
^(O)for the violence done to the people of Judah,
    because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
^20 (P)But Judah shall be inhabited forever,
    and Jerusalem to all generations.
^21 (Q)I will avenge their blood,
    blood I have not avenged,^{[a]
    (R)}for the Lord dwells in Zion.”
