11. So the ransomed of the Lord shall return,And come to Zion with singing,With everlasting joy on their heads.They shall obtain joy and gladness;Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
12. “I, even I, am He who comforts you.Who are you that you should be afraidOf a man who will die,And of the son of a man who will be made like grass?
13. And you forget the Lord your Maker,Who stretched out the heavensAnd laid the foundations of the earth;You have feared continually every dayBecause of the fury of the oppressor,When he has prepared to destroy.And where is the fury of the oppressor?
