“My people who live in Zion,^(A)
    do not be afraid^(B) of the Assyrians,
who beat^(C) you with a rod^(D)
    and lift up a club against you, as Egypt did.

⁴ I will build you up again,
    and you, Virgin^(A) Israel, will be rebuilt.^(B)
Again you will take up your timbrels^(C)
    and go out to dance^(D) with the joyful.^(E)

¹⁰ I will cause many peoples to be appalled at you,
    and their kings will shudder with horror because of you
    when I brandish my sword^(A) before them.
On the day^(B) of your downfall
    each of them will tremble
    every moment for his life.^(C)
