12. I will let only meek and humble people stay in my city, and they will trust the Lord’S name.
13. The survivors of Israel will not do bad things or tell lies. They will not try to trick people with lies. They will be like sheep that eat and lie down in peace—and no one will bother them.”
14. Jerusalem, sing and be happy! Israel, shout for joy! Jerusalem, be happy and have fun!
15. The Lord stopped your punishment. He destroyed your enemies’ strong towers. King of Israel, the Lord is with you. You don’t need to worry about anything bad happening.
