Good News Translation
The nations of the world will praise the everlasting God by doing what he demands. "At that time God will save all the people of Israel who have been faithful to him.

All who love God with their heart and soul will rejoice, but all sinners and evil people will be wiped off the face of the earth.

New Revised Standard Version
and in righteousness they will praise the eternal God. All the Israelites who are saved in those days and are truly mindful of God will be gathered together; they will go to Jerusalem and live in safety forever in the land of Abraham, and it will be given over to them. Those who sincerely love God will rejoice, but those who commit sin and injustice will vanish from all the earth.

But God will again have mercy on them and bring them back to the land of Israel. They will build the house again, but it will not be like the first until the era when the appointed times will be completed. Afterward all of them will return from their captivity, and they will rebuild Jerusalem with due honor. In it the house of God will also be rebuilt, just as the prophets of Israel said of it.
