12 “Behold, these will come (A)from afar;
And lo, these will come from the (B)north and from the west,
And these from the land of Sinim.”
13 (C)Shout for joy, O heavens! And rejoice, O earth!
Break forth into joyful shouting, O mountains!
For the (D)Lord has comforted His people
And will (E)have compassion on His afflicted.
