27 Take courage, my children; call out to God!The one who brought this upon you will remember you.
28 As your hearts have been disposed to stray from God,so turn now ten times the more to seek him;
29 For the one who has brought disaster upon youwill, in saving you, bring you eternal joy.”
30 Take courage, Jerusalem!The one who gave you your name will console you.
31 Wretched shall be those who harmed you,who rejoiced at your downfall;
32 Wretched shall be the cities where your children were enslaved,wretched the city that received your children.
33 As that city rejoiced at your collapse,and made merry at your downfall,so shall she grieve over her own desolation.
