“Blessed [happy, prosperous, to be admired] is the man who listens to me,
Watching daily at my gates,

But in the latter days it shall come to pass that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established as the highest of the mountains; and it shall be exalted above the hills, and peoples shall flow to it.

For the law shall go forth out of Zion and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

For all the peoples [now] walk every man in the name of his god, but we will walk in the name of the Lord our God forever and ever. In that day, says the Lord, I will assemble the lame, and I will gather those who have been driven away and those whom I have afflicted.

And you, O tower of the flock, the hill and stronghold of the Daughter of Zion, unto you the former dominion shall come, the kingdom of the Daughter of Jerusalem.
