13. As a mother comforts her child,so will I comfort you.You will be comforted in Jerusalem.
14. When you see it, your heart will rejoiceand you will flourish like new grass.The power of the Lord will be made known to his servants,but he will condemn his enemies.
15. The Lord will come with fireand with his chariots like a thunderstorm.He will pay them back with his burning angerand punish them with flames of fire.
16. The Lord will judge with fire,and he will judge all people with his sword.Many people will be struck dead by the Lord.
