Fury is not in me:
who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle?
I would go through them,
I would burn them together.
Or let him take hold of my strength,
that he may make peace with me;
and he shall make peace with me.

He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root:
Israel shall blossom and bud,
and fill the face of the world with fruit.

    let them make peace(C) with me,
    yes, let them make peace with me.”

In days to come Jacob will take root,(D)
    Israel will bud and blossom(E)
    and fill all the world with fruit.(F)
