25
Children, bear up patiently under God's anger, which has come on you. Your enemy has hunted you down, but you'll soon see their destruction. Then you'll step on their throats.
26
My delicate children have traveled rough roads. They were taken as a flock snatched away by enemies.
27
Children, be confident! Cry out to God, for the one who brought this on you will remember you.
28
Just as you plotted to stray away from God, return with ten times as much effort to seek him out.
29
The one who brought these horrible things on you will bring you eternal joy along with your deliverance.
