I am not angry.
If only there were thorns and briers(A) for me to battle,
I would trample them
and burn them to the ground.

let it make peace with me—
make peace with me.
In days to come, Jacob will take root.(B)
Israel will blossom and bloom(C)
and fill the whole world with fruit.

    Israel will bud and blossom(E)
    and fill all the world with fruit.(F)
