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.
30
Be of good heart, O Jerusalem: for he exhorteth thee, that named thee.
31
The wicked that have afflicted thee, shall perish: and they that have rejoiced at thy ruin, shall be punished.
32
The cities which thy children have served, shall be punished: and she that received thy sons.
33
For as she rejoiced at thy ruin, and was glad of thy fall: so shall she be grieved for her own desolation.
34
And the joy of her multitude shall be cut off: and her gladness shall be turned to mourning.
35
For fire shall come upon her from the Eternal, long to endure, and she shall be inhabited by devils for a great time.
