17 But I, what can I help you?
18 For he that brought these plagues upon you will deliver you from the hand of your enemies.
19 Go your way, O my children, go your way: for I am left desolate.
20 I have put off the garment of peace, and put upon me the sackcloth of my petition: I will cry to the Everlasting as long as I live.
21 Be of good cheer, O my children, cry to God, and he shall deliver you from the power and hand of the enemies.
22 For I have trusted in the Everlasting, that he will save you; and joy is come to me from the Holy One, because of the mercy which shall soon come to you from the Everlasting your Saviour.
23 For I sent you out with mourning and weeping: but God will give you to me again with joy and gladness for ever.
