2 In that day: "A pleasant vineyard, sing of it!

3 I, the LORD, am its keeper; every moment I water it. Lest any one harm it, I guard it night and day;

4 I have no wrath. Would that I had thorns and briers to battle! I would set out against them, I would burn them up together.

5 Or let them lay hold of my protection, let them make peace with me, let them make peace with me."

6 In days to come Jacob shall take root, Israel shall blossom and put forth shoots, and fill the whole world with fruit.

7 Has he smitten them as he smote those who smote them? Or have they been slain as their slayers were slain?

8 Measure by measure, by exile thou didst contend with them; he removed them with his fierce blast in the day of the east wind.

12 In that day from the river Euphra'tes to the Brook of Egypt the LORD will thresh out the grain, and you will be gathered one by one, O people of Israel.

13 And in that day a great trumpet will be blown, and those who were lost in the land of Assyria and those who were driven out to the land of Egypt will come and worship the LORD on the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
