9GoH5927 upH5927 on a 1highH1364 mountainH2022, ZionH6726, messengerH1319 ofH1319 2goodH1319 newsH1319, RaiseH7311 your voiceH6963 forcefullyH3581, JerusalemH3389, messengerH1319 ofH1319 goodH1319 newsH1319; RaiseH7311 it upH7311, do not fearH3372. SayH559 to the 3citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, “4HereH2009 is your GodH430!”10BeholdH2009, the LordH136 5GodH3068 will comeH935 6with mightH2389, With His 7armH2220 rulingH4910 for Him. BeholdH2009, His 8compensationH7939 is with Him, And His rewardH6468 beforeH6440 Him.11Like a shepherdH7462 He will 9tendH7462 His flockH5739, In His armH2220 He will gatherH6908 the lambsH2924 And carryH5375 them in the foldH2436 ofH2436 His robeH2436; He will gently leadH5095 the nursingH5763 ewes.

12WhoH4310 has 10measuredH4058 the 11watersH4325 in the hollowH8168 ofH8168 His handH8168, And measuredH8505 the heavensH8064 with a 12spanH2239, And 13calculatedH3557 the dustH6083 of the earthH776 with a measureH7991, And weighedH8254 the mountainsH2022 in a balanceH6425 And the hillsH1389 in a pair of scalesH3976?1314WhoH4310 has 15directedH8505 the SpiritH7307 of the LordH3068, Or as His 16counselorH376H6098 has informedH3045 Him?1417With whomH4310 did He consultH3289 and who 18gaveH995 Him understandingH995? And who taughtH3925 Him in the pathH734 of justiceH4941 and taughtH3925 Him knowledgeH1847, And informedH3045 Him of the wayH1870 of understandingH8394?15BeholdH2005, the 19nationsH1471 are like a dropH4752 from a bucketH1805, And are regardedH2803 as a speckH7834 ofH7834 20dustH7834 on the scalesH3976; BeholdH2005, He liftsH5190 up the 21islandsH339 like fineH1851 dustH1851.
