11. Now the ransomed of Adonai will return, and come to Zion with singing. Everlasting joy will be upon their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.
12. “I, I am the One who comforts you. Who are you that you should fear man, who dies, or a son of man, who is given up like grass?”
13. But you forgot Adonai your Maker, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth. Are you in constant dread all day because of the fury of the oppressor as he makes ready to destroy? But where is the fury of the oppressor?
14. Soon one bowed down will be released. He will not die and go to the Pit, nor will his bread be lacking.
15. “For I am Adonai your God, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—Adonai-Tzva’ot is His Name.
16. I have put My words in your mouth, and covered you with the shadow of My hand— I who set the heavens in place, who laid the foundations of the earth, and say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’”
