5 Be of good cheer, my people, the memorial of Israel.
6 You⌃ were sold to the nations, but not for destruction: because you⌃ moved God to wrath, you⌃ were delivered to your adversaries.
7 For you⌃ provoked him that made you by sacrificing to demons, and not to God.
8 You⌃ forgat the everlasting God, that brought you up; you⌃ grieved also Jerusalem, that nursed you.
9 For she saw the wrath that is come upon you from God, and said, Hearken, you⌃ women that dwell about Sion: for God has brought upon me great mourning;
10 for I have seen the captivity of my sons and daughters, which the Everlasting has brought upon them.
11 For with joy did I nourish them; but sent them away with weeping and mourning.
