“Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.”
Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel! Rejoice and exult with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem!—the command to sing signals the dramatic shift from judgment to salvation. The address to Zion/Jerusalem/Israel emphasizes the covenant community's restoration. The imperative verbs (sing, shout, rejoice, exult) mobilize the whole person in response to God's reversal.
