Jerusalem Is Assured of Help

(Cp Isa 52:1–10)

30 Take courage, O Jerusalem,

for the one who named you will comfort you.

31 Wretched will be those who mistreated you

and who rejoiced at your fall.

32 Wretched will be the cities that your children served as slaves;

wretched will be the city that received your offspring.

33 For just as she rejoiced at your fall

and was glad for your ruin,

so she will be grieved at her own desolation.

34 I will take away her pride in her great population,

and her insolence will be turned to grief.

35 For fire will come upon her from the Everlasting for many days,

and for a long time she will be inhabited by demons.

36 Look toward the east, O Jerusalem,

and see the joy that is coming to you from God.

37 Look, your children are coming, whom you sent away;

they are coming, gathered from east and west,

at the word of the Holy One,

rejoicing in the glory of God.
