In coming days,[a]
    Jacob will take root;
    Israel will blossom and sprout
    and fill the whole world with produce.

    on the day of the east wind.

Has the Lord struck her
    as he struck(D) down those who struck her?
Has she been killed
    as those were killed who killed her?
By warfare[a] and exile(E) you contend with her—
    with his fierce blast he drives her out,
    as on a day the east wind(F) blows.
