¹¹ And all the people who were at the gate, and the elders, said, “We are witnesses. ^(A)The Lord make the woman who is coming to your house like Rachel and Leah, the two who ^(B)built the house of Israel; and may you prosper in ^(C)Ephrathah and be famous in ^(D)Bethlehem.

¹² May your house be like the house of ^(A)Perez, ^(B)whom Tamar bore to Judah, because of ^(C)the offspring which the Lord will give you from this young woman.”

²⁴ In that day Israel will be one of three with Egypt and Assyria—a blessing in the midst of the land,

²⁵ whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, “Blessed is Egypt My people, and Assyria ^(A)the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance.”

²⁶ I will make them and the places all around ^(A)My hill ^(B)a blessing; and I will ^(C)cause showers to come down in their season; there shall be ^(D)showers of blessing.
