1 The Lord will have compassion for Jacob and again choose Israel.He will resettle them in their own country.Foreigners will join themand unite with the descendants of Jacob.
2 People will take themand bring them to their own place.The nation of Israel will possess nationsas male and female slaves in the Lord’s land.They will take their captors captiveand rule their oppressors.
3 When that day comes, the Lord will give you relieffrom your pain and suffering,from the hard slavery you were forced to do.
4 Then you will mock the king of Babylon with this saying,“How the tyrant has come to an end!How his attacks have come to an end!”
