11:16 There will be a highway leading out of Assyria
for the remnant of his people,
just as there was for Israel,
when they went up from the land of Egypt.
14:29 Don’t be so happy, all you Philistines,

he will rule in a reliable manner,

its inhabitants pay for their guilt.
This is why the inhabitants of the earth disappear,
and are reduced to just a handful of people.

among the nations.
It will be like when they beat an olive tree,
and just a few olives are left at the end of the harvest.

the Just One is majestic.
But I say, “I’m wasting away! I’m wasting away! I’m doomed!
Deceivers deceive, deceivers thoroughly deceive!”

you humble the boasting foreigners.
Just as the shadow of a cloud causes the heat to subside,
so he causes the song of tyrants to cease.

just as a swimmer spreads his hands to swim;
the Lord will bring down Moab’s pride as it spreads its hands.

he sits on his throne, ready to have compassion on you.
Indeed, the Lord is a just God;

Then I will make an unconditional covenantal promise to you,
just like the reliable covenantal promises I made to David.
56:12 Each one says,
‘Come on, I’ll get some wine!
Let’s guzzle some beer!
Tomorrow will be just like today!
We’ll have everything we want!’
61:11 For just as the ground produces its crops
and a garden yields its produce,
so the sovereign Lord will cause deliverance to grow,
and give his people reason to praise him in the sight of all the nations.
