4 Do not be afraid,+ for you will not be put to shame;+

And do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disappointed.

For you will forget the shame of your youth,

And the disgrace of your widowhood you will remember no more.”

14 The sons of those who oppressed you will come and bow down before you;

All those treating you disrespectfully must bow down at your feet,

And they will have to call you the city of Jehovah,

Zion of the Holy One of Israel.+

Although I have fallen, I will rise up;

Although I dwell in the darkness, Jehovah will be my light.

 8 “I have heard the reproach by Moʹab+ and the insults of the Amʹmon·ites,+

Who have taunted my people and made boasts against their territory.+

19 Look! At that time I will act against all those oppressing you;+

And I will save the one limping,+

And I will gather together the dispersed.+

I will make them an object of praise and fame*

In all the land of their shame.
