On that day the root of Jesse
will stand as a banner for the peoples.
The nations will seek Him,
and His resting place will be glorious.

The desert creatures will meet hyenas,
and one wild goat will call to another.
Indeed, the screech owl will stay there
and will find a resting place for herself.

For the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, has said:
“You will be delivered by returning and resting;
your strength will lie in quiet confidence.
But you are not willing.”

“This is the place of rest,

For the Lord’s power will rest on this mountain.

But Moab will be trampled in his place
as straw is trampled in a dung pile.

and honored, and I love you,

and nations instead of your life.

they set it in its place, and there it stands;

it saves no one from his trouble.

The glory of Lebanon will come to you—
its pine, fir, and cypress together—
to beautify the place of My sanctuary,
and I will glorify My dwelling place.
