“The Lord has sworn by his right hand
    and by his mighty arm:[a]
‘I will never again give your grain[b]
    as food for your enemies;
never[c] again will foreigners drink your new wine
    for which you have toiled;
but surely[d] those who harvest it will eat it
    and praise the name of[e] the Lord,
and those who gather it will drink it
    in the courts of my sanctuary,’ says your God.”[f]

    prepare the way for the people!
Build up! Build up the highway!
    Clear it of stumbling stones,[h]
        speak among the peoples.[i]
