For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto Yhwh our God. 7For thus saith Yhwh; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O Yhwh, save thy people, the remnant of Israel. 8Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.
