13. Those who are left alive of Israel won’t do wrong.They won’t tell lies.They won’t trick people with their words.They will be like sheep that eat and lie down.No one will bother them.”
14. Sing, Jerusalem.Israel, shout for joy!Jerusalem, be happy.Rejoice with all your heart.
15. The Lord has stopped punishing you.He has sent your enemies away.The King of Israel, the Lord, is with you.You will never again be afraid of being harmed.
16. On that day Jerusalem will be told,“Don’t be afraid, city of Jerusalem.Don’t be so discouraged that you can’t do anything.
17. The Lord your God is with you.The mighty One will save you.The Lord will be happy with you.You will rest in his love.He will sing and be joyful about you.”
18. “I will take away the sadness planned for you.It would have made you very ashamed.
19. At that time I will punishall those who harmed you.I will save my people who are hurt.I will gather my people who are scattered.I will give them praise and honorin every place where they were disgraced.
