6"Up on your feet! Get out of there—and now!" God says so. "Return from your far exile. I scattered you to the four winds." God 's Decree. "Escape from Babylon, Zion, and come home—now!" 8 God -of-the-Angel-Armies, the One of Glory who sent me on my mission, commenting on the godless nations who stripped you and left you homeless, said, "Anyone who hits you, hits me—bloodies my nose, blackens my eye. Yes, and at the right time I'll give the signal and they'll be stripped and thrown out by their own servants." Then you'll know for sure that God -of-the-Angel-Armies sent me on this mission.
