Speak to the heart of Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her service has ended, that her guilt is expiated, That she has received from the hand of the Lord double for all her sins.
Those whom the Lord has ransomed will return and enter Zion singing, crowned with everlasting joy; They will meet with joy and gladness, sorrow and mourning will flee.
Therefore, hear the strategy of the Lord, which he has devised against Babylon; Hear the plans drawn up against the land of the Chaldeans: They shall be dragged away, even the smallest sheep; their own pasture aghast because of them.
