8 He will swallow up* death forever,+

And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces.+

The reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth,

For Jehovah himself has spoken it.

12 They will come and shout joyfully on the height of Zion+

And become radiant over the goodness of* Jehovah,

Over the grain and the new wine+ and the oil,

And over the young of the flock and the herd.+

They* will become like a well-watered garden,+

And they will never languish again.”+
