10 (A)The Lord says,

“I will remove the war chariots from Israel
    and take the horses from Jerusalem;
    the bows used in battle will be destroyed.
Your king will make peace among the nations;
    he will rule from sea to sea,
    from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth.”

The Restoration of God's People

11 (B)The Lord says,

“Because of my covenant with you
    that was sealed by the blood of sacrifices,
I will set your people free—
    free from the waterless pit of exile.
12 Return, you exiles who now have hope;
    return to your place of safety.
Now I tell you that I will repay you twice over
    with blessing for all you have suffered.
