“Now therefore, what do I have here?”
—it is a declaration of Adonai
“My people are taken away for nothing?
Its rulers wail”
—it is Adonai’s declaration—
“and My Name is continually blasphemed all day long.[a]
Therefore My people will know My Name.
Therefore in that day,
    I am the One who will be saying, ‘Hineni!’”

How beautiful on the mountains are
the feet of him who brings good news,
who announces shalom,
who brings good news of happiness,[b]
who announces salvation,
who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
