And He will lift up a signal for the nations

And assemble the [fn]outcasts of Israel,

And will gather the dispersed of Judah

From the four corners of the earth.

A sound of tumult on the mountains,

Like that of many people!

A sound of the uproar of the kingdoms,

Of nations gathered together!

The LORD of hosts is mustering an army for battle.

Gladness and joy are taken away from the fruitful field;

In the vineyards there will be no singing or joyful sound;

No treader treads out wine in the presses,

For I (God) put an end to the joyful shouting.

“And it will be like the reaper gathering the standing grain,

As his arm harvests the ears of grain;

Yes, it will be like one gleaning ears of grain

In the [fertile] Valley of Rephaim.

They will be gathered together

As prisoners [are gathered] in a dungeon;

They will be shut up in prison,

And after many days they will be visited and punished.

As locusts swarming so people swarm on it.

So that the peoples may be assembled.

Who among them (the idolaters) can [fn]predict this [that Judah would return from captivity]

And proclaim to us the former events?

And now says the LORD, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant,

To bring Jacob back to Him and that Israel might be gathered to Him,

—For I am honored in the eyes of the LORD,

And My God is My strength—

For you will not go out in a hurry [as when you left Egypt],

Nor will you go in flight [fleeing, as you did from the Egyptians];

For the LORD will go before you,

And the God of Israel will be your rear guard.

Faithful and devout men are taken away, while no one understands

That the righteous person is taken away [to be spared] from disaster and evil.

“Then your light will break out like the dawn,

And your healing (restoration, new life) will quickly spring forth;

Your righteousness will go before you [leading you to peace and prosperity],

The glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.

Nor will your moon wane;

For the LORD will be your everlasting light,

And the days of your mourning will be over.

But they who have harvested it will eat it and praise the LORD,

And they who have gathered it will drink it [at the feasts celebrated] in the courtyards of My sanctuary.
