Exegesis
The closing clause shifts the subject from the people to divine initiative through the construct chain kinat YHWH tsevaot {קִנְאַת יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת | qinʾat YHWH ṣəvāʾôt} ‘the zeal of the LORD of hosts,’ making the LORD’s own ardor the driving agent of the outcome; the verb ta'aseh-zot {תַּעֲשֶׂה־זֹּאת | taʿăśeh-zōʾt} ‘will do this’ presents the result as certain and effectual. The English renderings preserve the Hebrew parallelism (“out of Jerusalem… from Mount Zion”) and retain the final shift to divine causation so that the verse culminates in the certainty of the LORD’s action.
