12. Surely these shall come from afar;Look! Those from the north and the west,And these from the land of Sinim.”
13. Sing, O heavens!Be joyful, O earth!And break out in singing, O mountains!For the Lord has comforted His people,And will have mercy on His afflicted.
14. But Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me,And my Lord has forgotten me.”
15. “Can a woman forget her nursing child,And not have compassion on the son of her womb?Surely they may forget,Yet I will not forget you.
16. See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands;Your walls are continually before Me.
17. Your sons shall make haste;Your destroyers and those who laid you wasteShall go away from you.
18. Lift up your eyes, look around and see;All these gather together and come to you.As I live,” says the Lord,“You shall surely clothe yourselves with them all as an ornament,And bind them on you as a bride does.
19. “For your waste and desolate places,And the land of your destruction,Will even now be too small for the inhabitants;And those who swallowed you up will be far away.
