I am not angry.
If anyone builds a wall of thornbushes in war,
    I will march to it and burn it.
But if anyone comes to me for safety
    and wants to make peace with me,
    he should come and make peace with me.”
In the days to come, the people of Jacob will be like a plant with good roots;
    Israel will grow like a plant beginning to bloom.
    Then the world will be filled with their children.

    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)
