“For there will be a day when watchmen
On the hills of Ephraim call out,
‘Arise, and (A)let us go up to Zion,
To the Lord our God.’”

For thus says the Lord,
(B)Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob,
And shout among the [a](C)chief of the nations;
Proclaim, give praise and say,
‘O Lord, (D)save Your people,
The (E)remnant of Israel.’
“Behold, I am (F)bringing them from the north country,
And I will (G)gather them from the remote parts of the earth,
Among them the (H)blind and the (I)lame,
The woman with child and she who is in labor with child, together;
A great [b]company, they will return here.

“Sing(C) with joy for Jacob;

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)

Among them will be the blind(I) and the lame,(J)
    expectant mothers and women in labor;
    a great throng will return.
