4 This is what the Almighty Lord says: In the beginning my people went to Egypt to live there as foreigners. Later the Assyrians oppressed them for no reason.
5 So what do I find here? asks the Lord. My people are taken away for no reason. Their rulers are screaming, declares the Lord. And my name is cursed all day long.
6 Now my people will know my name. When that day comes, ⌊they will know⌋ that I am the one who says, “Here I am!”
7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messengerwho announces the good news, “All is well.”He brings the good news,announces salvation,and tells Zion that its God rules as king.
8 Listen! Your watchmen raise their voicesand shout together joyfully.When the Lord brings Zion back,they will see it with their own eyes.
9 Break out into shouts of joy, ruins of Jerusalem.The Lord will comfort his people.He will reclaim Jerusalem.
10 The Lord will show his holy power to all the nations.All the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
