The time will come when
    the watchmen shout from
        the highlands of Ephraim:
“Get ready! We’re going up to Zion
    to the Lord our God!”
The Lord proclaims:
Sing joyfully for the people of Jacob;
    shout for the leading nation.
Raise your voices with praise and call out:
    “The Lord has saved his people,[a]
    the remaining few in Israel!”

I’m going to bring them back from the north;
    I will gather them from the ends of the earth.
Among them will be the blind and the disabled,
    expectant mothers and those in labor;
        a great throng will return here.

  1. Jeremiah 31:7 LXX; MT Save your people, Lord

There will be a day when watchmen(A) cry out
    on the hills of Ephraim,
‘Come, let us go up to Zion,
    to the Lord our God.’”(B)

This is what the Lord says:

“Sing(C) with joy for Jacob;
    shout for the foremost(D) of the nations.
Make your praises heard, and say,
    Lord, save(E) your people,
    the remnant(F) of Israel.’
See, I will bring them from the land of the north(G)
    and gather(H) them from the ends of the earth.
Among them will be the blind(I) and the lame,(J)
    expectant mothers and women in labor;
    a great throng will return.
