13 Sing joyfully, O Shomayim; and rejoice, O Eretz; and break forth into singing, O Harim; for Hashem hath comforted His people, and will have rachamim upon his afflicted ones.
14 But Tziyon said, Hashem hath forsaken me, and Adonoi hath forgotten me.
15 Can an isha forget her nursing baby, that she should not have rachamim on her ben beten? Indeed, they may forget, yet I will not forget thee.
16 Behold, I have engraved thee upon the palms of My hands; thy chomot are continually before Me.
17 Thy banim shall make haste [to return from the Golus]; thy destroyers and they that laid thee waste shall depart from thee.
18 Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold; all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith Hashem, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with jewelry and put them on like a kallah.
19 For thy ruins and thy desolate places, and the eretz of thy devastation, shall even now be too narrow for the inhabitants [of Tziyon returned from the Golus], and they that devoured thee shall be far away.
