and serve him with one accord.

10 in his love;

he will exult over you with loud singing

18as on a day of festival.”

so that you will not bear reproach for it.

19 Isa 60.14; Ezek 34.16; Mic 4.6, 7 I will deal with all your oppressors

at that time.

And I will save the lame

and gather the outcast,

and I will change their shame into praise

and renown in all the earth.

20 Isa 56.5; 66.22; Ezek 37.12, 21; Zeph 2.7 At that time I will bring you home,

at the time when I gather you;

for I will make you renowned and praised

among all the peoples of the earth,

when I restore your fortunes

before your eyes, says the Lord.
