Rh :Neither be dismayed, O Israel;
 * For, lo, I will save thee from afar,
 * And thy seed from the land of their captivity;
 * And Jacob shall again be quiet and at ease,
 * And none shall make him afraid.
 * For I am with thee, saith the, to save thee;
 * For I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee,
 * But I will not make a full end of thee;
 * For I will correct thee in measure,
 * And will not utterly destroy thee.


 * For thus saith the :
 * Thy hurt is incurable,
 * And thy wound is grievous.
 * None deemeth of thy wound that it may be bound up;
 * Thou hast no healing medicines.
 * All thy lovers have forgotten thee,
 * They seek thee not;
 * For I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy,
 * With the chastisement of a cruel one;
 * For the greatness of thine iniquity,
 * Because thy sins were increased.
 * Why criest thou for thy hurt,
 * That thy pain is incurable?
 * For the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased,
 * I have done these things unto thee.
 * Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured,
 * And all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity;
 * And they that spoil thee shall be a spoil,
 * And all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.
 * For I will restore health unto thee,
 * And I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the ;
 * Because they have called thee an outcast:
 * 'She is Zion, there is none that careth for her.'


 * Thus saith the :
 * Behold, I will turn the captivity of Jacob's tents,
 * And have compassion on his dwelling-places;
 * And the city shall be builded upon her own mound,
 * And the palace shall be inhabited upon its wonted place.
 * And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving
 * And the voice of them that make merry;
 * And I will multiply them, and they shall not be diminished,
 * I will also increase them, and they shall not dwindle away.
 * Their children also shall be as aforetime,
 * And their congregation shall be established before Me,
 * And I will punish all that oppress them.
 * And their prince shall be of themselves,
 * And their ruler shall proceed from the midst of them;
 * And I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto Me;
 * For who is he that hath pledged his heart
 * To approach unto Me? saith the.
 * And ye shall be My people,
 * And I will be your God.


 * Behold, a storm of the is gone forth in fury,
 * A sweeping storm;
 * It shall whirl upon the head of the wicked.
