But Zion said, The Lord has forsaken me, and, The Lord has forgotten me.

And you shall no more be called Forsaken; and your land shall no more be called Desert; for you shall be called My Pleasure, and your land Inhabited; for the Lord has taken pleasure in you, and your land shall be inhabited.

Say to your brother, My people, and to your sister, Pitied.

Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not My wife, and I am not her husband: and I will remove her fornication out of My presence, and her adultery from between her breasts:

Therefore, behold, I [will] cause her to err, and will make her as desolate, and will speak comfortably to her.

And I will giver her possessions from there, and the valley of Achor to open her understanding: and she shall be afflicted there according to the days of her infancy, and according to the days of her coming up out of the land of Egypt.

Come to Me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.

Nevertheless God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus,

Now I rejoice, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led to repentance; for you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing.

For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, without regret; but worldly sorrow produces death.

Let your fountain of water be [truly] your own, and rejoice with the wife of your youth.

And see life with the wife whom you love, all the days of the life of your vanity, which are given to you under the sun; for that is your portion in your life, and in your labor in which you labor under the sun.

Yet you said, For what reason? Because the Lord has borne witness between you and the wife of your youth, whom you have forsaken, and yet she was your partner, and the wife of your covenant.
