And I will be to her (A)a wall of fire all around, declares the Lord, and I will be the glory in her midst.’”

Up! Up! (B)Flee from the land of the north, declares the Lord. For I have (C)spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, declares the Lord. (D)Up! Escape to Zion, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon. For thus said the Lord of hosts, after his glory sent me[a] to the nations who plundered you, (E)for he who touches you touches (F)the apple of his eye: “Behold, (G)I will shake my hand over them, (H)and they shall become plunder for those who served them. Then (I)you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me. 10 (J)Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for (K)behold, I come (L)and I will dwell in your midst, declares the Lord.
