Many nations will take them and bring them to their land and their own place. The house of Israel will put those nations to conscripted labor in the LORD's land. They will take captive those who were their captors, and will rule continually over those who oppressed them.

Joy and gladness are taken away from the orchards, in the vineyards people will sing no songs, and no cheers are raised. No vintner treads out wine in the presses, because I've put an end to the shouting.

Then they will be dismayed and put to shame because of Cush, their hope, and Egypt, their jewel.

"LORD, your hand is lifted up, but they do not see it. And let them see your zeal for your people and be put to shame yes, let the fire reserved for your enemies consume them!

But Israel will be saved by the LORD with everlasting salvation; you won't be put to shame or disgraced ever again."

One will say of me, "Only in the LORD are victories and might.' All who raged against him will come to him and will be put to shame.
