- "In that day," declares the LORD, "I will gather the lame; I will assemble the exiles and those I have brought to grief.
- I will make the lame a remnant, those driven away a strong nation. The LORD will rule over them in Mount Zion from that day and forever.
- As for you, O watchtower of the flock, O stronghold of the Daughter of Zion, the former dominion will be restored to you; kingship will come to the Daughter of Jerusalem."
- Why do you now cry aloud-- have you no king? Has your counselor perished, that pain seizes you like that of a woman in labor?
- Writhe in agony, O Daughter of Zion, like a woman in labor, for now you must leave the city to camp in the open field. You will go to Babylon; there you will be rescued. There the LORD will redeem you out of the hand of your enemies.
