For I sent you out with sorrow and weeping, but God will give you back to me with joy and gladness forever.

For as the neighbors of Zion have now seen your capture, so they soon will see your salvation by God, which will come to you with great glory and with the splendor of the Everlasting.

My children, endure with patience the wrath that has come upon you from God. Your enemy has overtaken you, but you will soon see their destruction and will tread upon their necks.

Take courage, my children, and cry to God, for you will be remembered by the one who brought this upon you.
