17. Don’t fear, mother of the children: I have chosen you, says the Lord.
18. I will send my servants Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Daniel to help you. It was on their advice that I have made you holy. I will prepare twelve trees with various kinds of fruit for you,
19. and seven springs full of milk and honey, and huge mountains bearing roses and lilies, which I have prepared for you and your children. I will fill your children with joy.
20. Defend the widow’s rights. Judge in favor of the fatherless. Provide for those who are in need. Protect the orphan. Clothe the naked.
21. Care for the broken and the weak. Don’t mock the lame, but protect them instead. Help the blind to see a vision of my glory.
22. Gather the old and the young within your walls. Watch over your infants. Let your servants and employees rejoice, and your whole community will have good morale.
23. When I find your dead, I will raise them. I will watch for signs, and I will give them the front seat at the resurrection I will bring about.
24. Wait a little; your rest will come.
25. Good nurse, nourish your children. Strengthen those whom you bore and make their feet steady,
26. because none of those whom I have given you will perish. I will require them from your number.
27. Give it your all! Strengthen them! Days of pressure and anguish will come; others will weep and be sad, but you will be happy and have plenty.
