The Lord Vindicates Zion

“Hear this message from the Lord,
    you who tremble at his words:[a]

“Your own brothers who hate you
    and exclude you because of my name
have said: ‘Let the Lord be glorified;
    he will see[b] your joy,’
        yet it is they who will be put to shame.

“Listen to that uproar in[c] the city!
    Listen to that noise from the Temple!
It is the sound of the Lord
    paying back retribution to his enemies!

“Before she goes into labor she gives birth;
    before her pains come upon her
        she has delivered[d] a son.
