7 but be scattered among the nations! May their names be wiped out from the earth because they despised my covenant!
8 How terrible it will be for you, Assyria—you who are hiding the wicked in your midst! Evil city, remember what I did to Sodom and Gomorrah,

10 The Lord said this to Ezra: Announce to my people that I have prepared a feast for them, and I will give them the kingdom of Jerusalem, which I was about to give to Israel.
11 I will take Israel’s glory for them and give to them the eternal dwelling places I had prepared for Israel.
12 The tree of life will provide them with fragrant ointment, and they won’t labor or grow tired.
