¹ Your God says to you:

² Speak tenderly from the heart[3] to revive those in Jerusalem,[4]

³ A thunderous voice cries out in the wilderness:

⁴ Every valley will be raised up, every mountain brought low.

⁵ Then Yahweh’s radiant glory will be unveiled,

⁶ A voice says, “Cry out!”

⁷ The grass withers, the flower fades

⁸ But even though grass withers and the flower fades,

⁹ Go up on a high mountain, you joyful messengers of Zion,

¹⁰ Look! Here comes Lord Yahweh as a victorious warrior;

¹¹ He will care for you as a shepherd tends his flock,

¹² Who has measured the waters of the sea

¹³ Who fully understands the Spirit of Yahweh[17]

¹⁴ Whom does he consult to be enlightened?

¹⁵ Even the nations are to him like a drop[21] in a bucket,

¹⁶ All of Lebanon’s trees[22] are not enough firewood for him,

¹⁷ The nations are nothing in his eyes;

¹⁸ Who even comes close to being compared to God?[24]

¹⁹ A craftsman forms[25] an idol-god,

²⁰ The one who is poor and cannot afford silver or gold[27]

²¹ Don’t you realize that God is the Creator?

²² He sits enthroned high above the circle of the earth;[31]

²³ He reduces rulers to nothing

²⁴ They barely get planted and barely take root in their position of power

²⁵ The Holy One asks:

²⁶ Lift up your eyes to the sky and see for yourself.

²⁷ Why, then, O Jacob’s tribes, would you ever complain?

²⁸ Don’t you know? Haven’t you been listening?

²⁹ He empowers the feeble

³⁰ Even young people faint and get exhausted;

³¹ But those who entwine their hearts with Yahweh[37]
