There will be a time when watchmen in the mountains of Ephraim shout this message:
    ‘Come, let’s go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord our God!’”

This is what the Lord says:

“Be happy and sing for the people of Jacob.
    Shout for Israel, the greatest of the nations.
Sing your praises and shout this:
    Lord, save your people,
    those who are left alive from the nation of Israel!’
Look, I will soon bring Israel from the country in the north,
    and I will gather them from the faraway places on earth.
Some of the people are blind and crippled.
    Some of the women are pregnant, and some are ready to give birth.
    A great many people will come back.

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.
