because of everything you have done
in rebelling against Me.

your proud, arrogant people from among you,
and you will never again be haughty
on My holy mountain.

I will leave
a meek and humble people among you,
and they will take refuge in the name of Yahweh.

The Lord has removed your punishment;
He has turned back your enemy.
The King of Israel, Yahweh, is among you;

Yahweh your God is among you,
a warrior who saves.

He will bring you quietness with His love.
He will delight in you with shouts of joy.”

yes, at the time I will gather you.
I will give you fame and praise
among all the peoples of the earth,
when I restore your fortunes before your eyes.
