But now, what is happening?
An enemy has taken my people away as slaves,
    for no good reason.[a]
Their leaders boast loudly,
    and they insult me all the time.

When all this happens, they will know
    that I am the God who speaks to them.
I tell them that I am with them.’

    because God will save our city.
He says to Zion,
    ‘Your God rules as king!’
