And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

The verse 2 is found in chapter 14 of Isaiah. Jacob’s restoration is placed immediately after Babylon’s fall, showing that the judgment of a power can become an occasion for the liberation of God’s people. The song against the king of Babylon describes his fall from a position of exaltation to humiliation. The section criticizes the attempt to elevate oneself to God’s level.

Und die Völker werden sie nehmen und bringen an ihren Ort, daß sie das Haus Israel besitzen wird im Lande des HERRN zu Knechten und Mägden, und sie werden gefangen halten die, von welchen sie gefangen waren, und werden herrschen über ihre Dränger.
Y los tomarán los pueblos, y traeranlos a su lugar: y la casa de Israel los poseerá por siervos y criadas en la tierra de Jehová: y cautivarán a los que los cautivaron, y señorearán a los que los oprimieron.
Los pueblos los tomarán y los llevarán a su lugar, y la casa de Israel los poseerá como esclavos y esclavas en la tierra de Jehová. Tomarán cautivos a los que los habían llevado cautivos y dominarán a sus opresores.
Les peuples les prendront, et les ramèneront à leur demeure, Et la maison d'Israël les possédera dans le pays de l'Eternel, Comme serviteurs et comme servantes; Ils retiendront captifs ceux qui les avaient faits captifs, Et ils domineront sur leurs oppresseurs.
E i popoli li prenderanno, e li condurranno al luogo loro; e la casa d’Israele li possederà nella terra del Signore, per servi e per serve; e terranno in cattività quelli che li aveano tenuti in cattività, e signoreggeranno sopra i loro oppressatori.
E os povos os receberão, e os levarão aos seus lugares, e a casa de Israel os possuirá por servos, e por servas, na terra do SENHOR; e cativarão aqueles que os cativaram, e dominarão sobre os seus opressores.
外邦人要將他們帶回本地。 以色列 家必在耶和華的地上得外邦人為僕婢,也要擄掠先前擄掠他們的,轄制先前欺壓他們的。
