19
Go your way, my children, go your way: for I am left alone.
20
I have put off the robe of peace, and have put upon me the sackcloth of supplication, and I will cry to the most High in my days.
21
Be of good comfort, my children, cry to the Lord, and he will deliver you out of the hand of the princes your enemies.
22
For my hope is in the Eternal that he will save you: and joy is come upon me from the Holy One, because of the mercy which shall come to you from our everlasting Saviour.
23
For I sent you forth with mourning and weeping: but the Lord will bring you back to me with joy and gladness for ever.
24
For as the neighbours of Sion have now seen your captivity from God: so shall they also shortly see your salvation from God, which shall come upon you with great honour, and everlasting glory.
25
My children, suffer patiently the wrath that is come upon you: for thy enemy hath persecuted thee, but thou shalt quickly see his destruction: and thou shalt get up upon his neck.
26
My delicate ones have walked rough ways, for they were taken away as a flock made a prey by the enemies.
27
Be of good comfort, my children, and cry to the Lord: for you shall be remembered by him that hath led you away.
28
For as it was your mind to go astray from God; so when you return again you shall seek him ten times as much.
29
For he that hath brought evils upon you, shall bring you everlasting joy again with your salvation.
