^(F1)For, you people in Zion, ^(C1)inhabitant in Jerusalem, you will ^(C2)weep no longer. He will certainly be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will ^(C3)answer you.

Although the Lord has given you ^(C1)bread of deprivation and water of oppression, He, your Teacher, will no longer ^(C2)hide Himself, but your eyes will see your Teacher.

Your ears will hear a word behind you, saying, "This is the ^(C1)way, walk in it," whenever you ^(C2)turn to the right or to the left.

And you will desecrate your carved ^(C1)images plated with silver, and your cast metal ^(C1)images plated with gold. You will scatter them as a filthy thing, and say to ^(F1)them, "^(C2)Be gone!"

Then He will ^(C1)give you rain for your seed which you will sow in the ground, and bread from the yield of the ground, and it will be ^(F1)rich and ^(F2)plentiful; on that day ^(C2)your livestock will graze in a wide pasture.

Also the oxen and the donkeys that work the ground will eat ^(F1)seasoned feed, which ^(F2)has been ^(C1)winnowed with shovel and pitchfork.

And on every lofty mountain and ^(C1)every high hill there will be ^(F1)streams running with water on the day of the great ^(C2)slaughter, when the towers fall.

^(C1)And the light of the full moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, on the day ^(C2)the LORD binds up the ^(C3)fracture of His people and ^(C4)heals the wound ^(F1)He has inflicted.
