Assyria once took everything of value from God’s people. Its army destroyed all their vines. But the Lord will bring back the glory of Jacob’s people. He’ll make Israel glorious again.

耶和华复兴雅各的荣华，好像以色列的荣华一样；因为使地空虚的，已经使雅各和以色列空虚，将他们的葡萄枝毁坏了。

耶和华复兴雅各的荣华，像复兴以色列的荣华；因为蹂躏者曾经蹂躏他们，毁坏了他们的葡萄枝。

耶和华复兴雅各的荣华，像复兴以色列的荣华；因为蹂躏者曾经蹂躏他们，毁坏了他们的葡萄枝。

虽然掳掠者曾掳掠雅各，掳掠以色列，毁坏他们的葡萄树枝，但耶和华必恢复雅各的荣耀，恢复以色列的荣耀。

然而，耶和华必恢复雅各的光荣，好像以色列的光荣一样；因为劫掠的人曾把他们劫掠一空，又把他们的葡萄枝子毁坏了。

耶和華復興雅各的榮華，好像以色列的榮華一樣；因為使地空虛的，已經使雅各和以色列空虛，將他們的葡萄枝毀壞了。）

耶和華復興雅各的榮華，像復興以色列的榮華；因為蹂躪者曾經蹂躪他們，毀壞了他們的葡萄枝。

耶和華復興雅各的榮華，像復興以色列的榮華；因為蹂躪者曾經蹂躪他們，毀壞了他們的葡萄枝。

雖然擄掠者曾擄掠雅各，擄掠以色列，毀壞他們的葡萄樹枝，但耶和華必恢復雅各的榮耀，恢復以色列的榮耀。

然而，耶和華必恢復雅各的光榮，好像以色列的光榮一樣；因為劫掠的人曾把他們劫掠一空，又把他們的葡萄枝子毀壞了。

因為永恆主必恢復雅各所誇耀的、正如以色列所誇耀的一樣；因為那些劫掠一空者已把雅各和以色列劫掠一空，將他們的葡萄枝毁壞了。）

耶和華恢復雅各之榮、如疇昔以色列之榮、蓋刦者已刦之、且毀傷其葡萄之枝、

雅各家以色列族之顯榮、敵使之虛無、削其枝葉、我耶和華必令其恢復、

敵使雅各與以色列虛空、壞其葡萄枝、今主必令雅各之榮耀、與以色列之榮耀復興、

The Lord will restore the splendor of Jacob like the splendor of Israel, though destroyers have laid them waste and have ruined their vines.

For the Lord is restoring the majesty of Jacob as the majesty of Israel, for plunderers have plundered them and ruined their branches.

Even though the destroyer has destroyed Judah, the Lord will restore its honor. Israel’s vine has been stripped of branches, but he will restore its splendor.

For the LORD will restore the majesty of Jacob, yes, the majesty of Israel, though ravagers have ravaged them and ruined their vine branches.

For the Lord will restore the splendor of Jacob Like the splendor of Israel, Even though destroyers have laid waste to them And ruined their vines.

For the Lord will restore the excellence of Jacob Like the excellence of Israel, For the emptiers have emptied them out And ruined their vine branches.

For Jehovah restoreth the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel; for the emptiers have emptied them out, and destroyed their vine- branches.

For the Lord will restore the majesty of Jacob, yes, the majesty of Israel, though ravagers have ravaged them and ruined their vine branches.

For the LORD hath turned away the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine branches.

For the LORD will restore the majesty of Jacob, as well as the majesty of Israel, though their enemies have plundered them and have destroyed their fields.

For Yahweh restores the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel; for the destroyers have destroyed them, and ruined their vine branches.

Why have you broken down the walls around your vine? Now all who pass by it can pick its grapes.Wild pigs from the forest destroy it. Insects from the fields feed on it.

Jerusalem, you have done many wrong things to me. But at that time you will not be put to shame anymore. That’s because I will remove from this city those who think so highly of themselves. You will never be proud again on my holy mountain of Zion.

They will no longer make themselves‘ unclean’ by worshiping any of their evil gods. They will not do wrong things anymore. They always turn away from me. But I will save them from that sin. I will make them pure and‘ clean.’ They will be my people. And I will be their God.

“ You have been deserted and hated. No one even travels through you. But I will make you into something to be proud of forever. You will be a place of joy for all time to come.

“ Joseph is a vine that grows a lot of fruit. It grows close by a spring. Its branches climb over a wall.Mean people shot arrows at him. They shot at him because they were angry.

The Lord says,“ How terrible it will be for the people of Assyria! They are the war club that carries out my anger.I will send them against the ungodly nation of Judah. I will order them to fight against my own people. My people make me angry. I will order Assyria to take their goods and carry them away. I will order Assyria to walk on my people as if they were walking on mud.But that is not what the king of Assyria plans. It is not what he has in mind. His purpose is to destroy many nations. His purpose is to put an end to them.‘ Aren’t all my commanders kings?’ he says.‘ I took over Kalno just as I took Carchemish. I took over Hamath just as I did Arpad. I took Samaria just as I did Damascus.My powerful hand grabbed hold of kingdoms whose people worship statues of gods. They had more gods than Jerusalem and Samaria did.I took over Samaria and its statues of gods. In the same way, I will take Jerusalem and its gods.’ ”The Lord will finish everything he has planned to do against Mount Zion and Jerusalem. Then he’ll say,“ Now I will punish the king of Assyria. I will punish him because his heart and his eyes are so proud.

Edom, suppose grape pickers came to harvest your vines. They would still leave a few grapes. Suppose robbers came at night. They would steal only as much as they wanted.

I am beginning to bring trouble on the city where I have put my Name. You might think you will not be punished. But you will certainly be punished. I am sending war against everyone who lives on earth,” announces the Lord who rules over all.’

Israel was like a spreading vine. They produced fruit for themselves. As they grew more fruit, they built more altars. As their land became richer, they made more beautiful the sacred stones they worshiped.
