11. The people the Lord has freed will returnand enter Jerusalem with joy.Their happiness will last forever.They will have joy and gladness,and all sadness and sorrow will be gone far away.
12. The Lord says, “I am the one who comforts you.So why should you be afraid of people, who die?Why should you fear people who die like the grass?
13. Have you forgotten the Lord who made you,who stretched out the skiesand made the earth?Why are you always afraidof those angry people who trouble youand who want to destroy?But where are those angry people now?
