Dwell

Therefore, the Lord God of hosts says this, “O My people who dwell in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrian who strikes you with a rod and lifts up his staff against you, as [the king of] Egypt did.

For great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.

On the hills of Ephraim cry out,
‘Arise, and let us go up to Zion,

The work of the Lord our God!

They will live in the land where your fathers lived, [the land] that I gave to My servant Jacob, and they will live there, they and their children and their children’s children, forever; and My servant David will be their leader forever.

Shout in triumph, O Israel!
Rejoice, be in high spirits and glory with all your heart,
O Daughter of Jerusalem [in that day]!

“The Deliverer (Messiah) will come from Zion,
He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.”

Thou shalt

And freedom to prisoners,

Behold, I am creating Jerusalem to be a source of rejoicing
And her people a joy.
