8 Just wait,” says the Lord.“Someday I will stand up as a witness.I have decided that I will gather nationsand assemble kingdoms.I will pour out my anger on them,all my strong anger.My anger will be like firethat will burn up the whole world.
9 “Then I will give the people of all nations pure speechso that all of them will speak the name of the Lordand worship me together.
10 People will come from where the Nile River begins;my scattered people will come with gifts for me.
11 Then Jerusalem will not be ashamedof the wrongs done against me,because I will remove from this citythose who like to brag;there will never be any more proud peopleon my holy mountain in Jerusalem.
12 But I will leave in the citythe humble and those who are not proud,and they will trust in the Lord.
13 Those who are left alive in Israel won’t do wrong or tell lies;they won’t trick people with their words.They will eat and lie downwith no one to make them afraid.”
14 Sing, Jerusalem.Israel, shout for joy!Jerusalem, be happyand rejoice with all your heart.
