If thou shalt forsake us, how much better had it been for us, if we also had been burned in the midst of Sion?
45
For we are not better than they that died there. And they wept with a loud voice. Then answered I them, and said,
46
Be of good comfort, O Israel; and be not heavy, thou house of Jacob:
47
For the Highest hath you in remembrance, and the Mighty hath not forgotten you in temptation.
48
As for me, I have not forsaken you, neither am I departed from you: but am come into this place, to pray for the desolation of Sion, and that I might seek mercy for the low estate of your sanctuary.
