^[a]THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

^8 (A)After many days ^(B)you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword ^(C)and gathered from many people on ^(D)the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them ^(E)dwell safely.

¹¹ You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of ^(A)unwalled villages; I will ^(B)go to a peaceful people, ^(C)who dwell ^[a]safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates’—

⁵ For I,’ says the Lord, ‘will be ^(A)a wall of fire all around her, ^(B)and I will be the glory in her midst.’ ”

⁸ For thus says the Lord of hosts: “He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who ^(A)touches you touches the ^[a]apple of His eye.
