2 ⁶ Ho! ho! Flee from the land of the north, says Yahweh; for I havespread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, says Yahweh. 2 ⁷ Ho! Escape to Zion, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon. 2 ⁸ For thus said Yahweh of hosts, after his glory sent me to the nations who plundered you, for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye: 2 ⁹ "Behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they shall become plunder for those who served them. Then you will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent me. 2 ¹⁰ Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for lo, I come and I will dwell in the midst of you, says Yahweh. 2 ¹¹ And many nations shall join themselves to Yahweh in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know that Yahweh of hosts has sent me to you. 2 ¹² And Yahweh will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land,and will again choose Jerusalem."

2 ¹³ Be silent, all flesh, before Yahweh; for he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.
