Joy in God’s Faithfulness
14 (A)Sing, O daughter of Zion!
Shout, O Israel!
Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,
O daughter of Jerusalem!
15 The Lord has taken away your judgments,
He has cast out your enemy.
(B)The King of Israel, the Lord, (C)is in your midst;
You shall [a]see disaster no more.
16 In that day (D)it shall be said to Jerusalem:
“Do not fear;
Zion, (E)let not your hands be weak.
17 The Lord your God (F)in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
(G)He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.”
18 “I will gather those who (H)sorrow over the appointed assembly,
Who are among you,
To whom its reproach is a burden.
19 Behold, at that time
I will deal with all who afflict you;
I will save the (I)lame,
And gather those who were driven out;
I will appoint them for praise and fame
In every land where they were put to shame.
20 At that time (J)I will bring you back,
Even at the time I gather you;
For I will give you [b]fame and praise
Among all the peoples of the earth,
When I return your captives before your eyes,”
Says the Lord.

Israel’s Final Triumph
17 “But on Mount Zion there (A)shall be [a]deliverance,
And there shall be holiness;
The house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
18 The house of Jacob shall be a fire,
And the house of Joseph (B)a flame;
But the house of Esau shall be stubble;
They shall kindle them and devour them,
And no survivor shall remain of the house of Esau,”
For the Lord has spoken.
19 The [b]South (C)shall possess the mountains of Esau,
(D)And the Lowland shall possess Philistia.
They shall possess the fields of Ephraim
And the fields of Samaria.
Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
20 And the captives of this host of the children of Israel
Shall possess the land of the Canaanites
As (E)far as Zarephath.
The captives of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad
(F)Shall possess the cities of the [c]South.

To judge the mountains of Esau,
And the (H)kingdom shall be the Lord’s.
