18. The Lord has promised:Your sorrow has ended,and you can celebrate.
19. I will punish thosewho ill-treat you.I will bring together the lameand the outcasts,then they will be praised,instead of despised,in every country on earth.
20. I will lead you home,and with your own eyesyou will see me bless youwith all you once owned.Then you will be famouseverywhere on this earth.I, the Lord, have spoken!
