And [b]their congregation shall be (A)established before Me;
And I will punish all [c]their oppressors.
21 [d]Their (B)leader shall be one of them,
And [e]their ruler shall come forth from [f]their midst;
And I will (C)bring him near and he shall approach Me;
For [g]who would dare to risk his life to (D)approach Me?’ declares the Lord.
22 ‘You shall be (E)My people,
And I will be your God.’”
