30
Take courage, O Jerusalem, for he who named you will comfort you.
31
Wretched will be those who afflicted you and rejoiced at your fall.
32
Wretched will be the cities which your children served as slaves; wretched will be the city which received your sons.
33
For just as she rejoiced at your fall and was glad for your ruin, so she will be grieved at her own desolation.
34
And I will take away her pride in her great population, and her insolence will be turned to grief.
