⁶ Those who come He shall cause ^(A)to take root in Jacob;
Israel shall blossom and bud,
And fill the face of the world with fruit.

^7 (B)Has He struck ^[a]Israel as He struck those who struck him?
Or has He been slain according to the slaughter of those who were slain by Him?
^8 (C)In measure, by sending it away,
You contended with it.
^(D)He removes it by His rough wind
In the day of the east wind.
⁹ Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob will be covered;
And this is all the fruit of taking away his sin:
When he makes all the stones of the altar
Like chalkstones that are beaten to dust,
^[b]Wooden images and incense altars shall not stand.

¹⁰ Yet the fortified city will be ^(E)desolate,
The habitation forsaken and left like a wilderness;
There the calf will feed, and there it will lie down
And consume its branches.
¹¹ When its boughs are withered, they will be broken off;
The women come and set them on fire.
For ^(F)it is a people of no understanding;
Therefore He who made them will ^(G)not have mercy on them,
And ^(H)He who formed them will show them no favor.

¹² And it shall come to pass in that day
That the Lord will thresh,
From the channel of ^[c]the River to the Brook of Egypt;
And you will be ^(I)gathered one by one,
O you children of Israel.

^13 (J)So it shall be in that day:
^(K)The great trumpet will be blown;
They will come, who are about to perish in the land of Assyria,
And they who are outcasts in the land of ^(L)Egypt,
And shall ^(M)worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.

⁵ In that day the Lord of hosts will be
For a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty
To the remnant of His people,
⁶ For a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment,
And for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.

⁷ But they also ^(O)have erred through wine,
And through intoxicating drink are out of the way;
^(P)The priest and the prophet have erred through intoxicating drink,
They are swallowed up by wine,
They are out of the way through intoxicating drink;
They err in vision, they stumble in judgment.
⁸ For all tables are full of vomit and filth;
No place is clean.

⁹ “Whom^(Q) will he teach knowledge?
And whom will he make to understand the message?
Those just weaned from milk?
Those just drawn from the breasts?
^10 (R)For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept,
Line upon line, line upon line,
Here a little, there a little.”

¹¹ For with ^(S)stammering lips and another tongue
He will speak to this people,
¹² To whom He said, “This is the ^(T)rest with which
You may cause the weary to rest,”
And, “This is the refreshing”;
Yet they would not hear.
¹³ But the word of the Lord was to them,
“Precept upon precept, precept upon precept,
Line upon line, line upon line,
Here a little, there a little,”
That they might go and fall backward, and be broken
And snared and caught.

⁶ Those who come He shall cause ^(A)to take root in Jacob;
Israel shall blossom and bud,
And fill the face of the world with fruit.
