6 And_he/it _said it _is _[too]_trifling too _that_be_you to_me servant to_raise _up DOM the _tribes _of Yaˊₐqoⱱ/(Jacob) and_preserved _of[fn] of _Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) to_bring _back and_make_you as_light _of [the]_nations to_be salvation _of_my to the _end _of the_earth/land.
7 thus he _says YHWH of _Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) the _redeemer _of holy _of_his to_despised life to_ (of)_a _nation _abhorred _of to_servant _of kings rulers they _will _see and_ princes _stand _up and_bow _down[fn] on _account _of YHWH who [is]_reliable the _holy _[one]_of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) and_chosen_you.

13 Shout _for _joy Oh _heaven and_rejoice Oh _earth wwww[fn] Oh _mountains a _shout _of _joy if/because YHWH he _has _comforted people _of_his and_afflicted _of_his he _has _compassion _on.
14 and_ Tsiyyōn/(Zion) _she/it _said abandoned_me YHWH and_master _of_my forgotten_me.
15 Forget a _woman nursing _child _of_her no_have _compassionon the _child _of womb _of_her also these they _will _forget and_I not forget_you.
16 Here on palms inscribed_you walls _of_your before_me continually.
17 children _of_your They _have _made _haste destroyers _of_your and_laid _waste _of_you from_you they _will _go _out.
18 Lift _up all _around eyes _of_your and_look all _of_them they _have _gathered _together they _have _come to/for_you(fs) [by]_the _life of _me the _utterance _of YHWH if/because all _of_them as _the_ornament you _will _put _on and_bind _on_them like _the_bride.
