Now therefore, what do I have here, says the Lord,

seeing that My people have been taken away for nothing?
    Those who rule over them make them wail,
    says the Lord,
and My name is continually blasphemed
    all day long.
Therefore, My people shall know My name;
    therefore, they shall know in that day
that I am He who does speak:
    Here I am.

How beautiful upon the mountains
    are the feet of him who brings good news,
who proclaims peace,
    who brings good news of happiness,
    who proclaims salvation,
who says to Zion,
    “Your God reigns!”
