and I will make the lame into a remnant,
    and the banished into a mighty nation;
and the Lord will reign over them on Mount Zion
    from this time forth and forevermore.

    that agony has seized you like the woman in labor?

I will make the lame my remnant,(A)
    those driven away a strong nation.(B)
The Lord will rule over them in Mount Zion(C)
    from that day and forever.(D)

    stronghold[a] of Daughter Zion,
the former dominion will be restored(E) to you;
    kingship will come to Daughter Jerusalem.(F)

    have you no king[b](G)?
Has your ruler[c] perished,
    that pain seizes you like that of a woman in labor?(H)
