6. In the days to come, the people of Jacob will be like a plant with good roots.Israel will grow like a plant beginning to bloom.Then the world will be filled with their children.
7. The Lord has not hurt his people as he hurt their enemies.His people have not been killed like those who tried to kill them.
8. The Lord will settle his argument with Israel by sending it far away.Like a hot desert wind, he will drive Israel away.
