4“I have no wrath.
         Should someone give Me briars and thorns in battle,
         Then I would step on them, I would burn them completely.

5“Or let him rely on My protection,
         Let him make peace with Me,
         Let him make peace with Me.”

6In the days to come Jacob will take root,
         Israel will blossom and sprout,
         And they will fill the whole world with fruit.

7Like the striking of Him who has struck them, has He struck them?
         Or like the slaughter of His slain, have they been slain?

8You contended with them by banishing them, by driving them away.
         With His fierce wind He has expelled them on the day of the east wind.

9Therefore through this Jacob’s iniquity will be forgiven;
         And this will be the full price of the pardoning of his sin:
         When he makes all the altar stones like pulverized chalk stones;
         When Asherim and incense altars will not stand.

10For the fortified city is isolated,
         A homestead forlorn and forsaken like the desert;
         There the calf will graze,
         And there it will lie down and feed on its branches.

11When its limbs are dry, they are broken off;
         Women come and make a fire with them,
         For they are not a people of discernment,
         Therefore their Maker will not have compassion on them.
         And their Creator will not be gracious to them.

      12In that day the LORD will start His threshing from the flowing stream of the Euphrates to the brook of Egypt, and you will be gathered up one by one, O sons of Israel. 13It will come about also in that day that a great trumpet will be blown, and those who were perishing in the land of Assyria and who were scattered in the land of Egypt will come and worship the LORD in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
