1Terrible things will also happen to Jerusalem,
2The people there do not pay attention to people who tell them the wrong things that they are doing
3Their leaders are like [MET] roaring lions;
4The prophets in Jerusalem are proud,
5But Yahweh is also in the city;
6Yahweh says this:
7So I thought to myself,
8Therefore I, Yahweh, say,
9When that happens, I will cause all people [MTY] to be changed
10Then my people who were forced to go to other countries, those who live along the upper part of the Nile River in Ethiopia
11At that time, you people in Jerusalem will no longer be ashamed about what has happened to you,
12Those who are still alive in Israel will be poor and humble;
13Those people who are still alive there in Israel will not do things that are wrong;
14You people who live in Jerusalem [DOU] and other places in Israel,
15because Yahweh will stop punishing [MTY] you,
16At that time, other people will say to us people of Jerusalem,
17because Yahweh your God is living among you.
18Yahweh says, “You people were sad and ashamed
19Truly, I will severely punish all those who ◄oppressed you/caused you to suffer►.
20At that time, I will gather you together
