1. Yet even in the times of despair and anguish I shall not forget the faithful. 2. I will raise up a remnant who will cling onto me and who shall not erase my name from their hearts. 3. To those who walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; 4. I will give peace in the land, in time of war; and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid; 5. and I will rid evil of the land, and neither shall the sword go through your fields. 6. And I will give thee the treasures of Japheth, and hidden riches of Ham, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, who call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel. 7. And there is hope in thine end, and thy children shall come again to their own border; 8. and they shall need not lift up sword against an invader, neither shall they behoove to learn the art of war. 9. Again there shall be heard in this place, even in the cities of Manasseh, and in the streets of Megiddo, 10. the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the groom, and the voice of the bride, 11. the voice of them that shall say, Praise the Lord of hosts: for the Lord is good. 12. And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the Lord’s name is praised, the faithful shall have joy and gladness and wealth. 13. Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness. 14. For they have not forsaken me when evil was great. 15. And thou shalt rejoice before the Lord thy God, thou, and thy kinsman, and the alien of faraway land, and the fatherless, and the widow, and the orphan that are among you. 16. And thou shalt know that thy temple shall be in peace. 17. Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon thine land.
