13 As one whom his mother comforts,
So I will ^acomfort you;
And you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.” ‡

14 When you see this, your heart shall rejoice,
And ^ayour bones shall flourish like grass;
The hand of the Lord shall be known to His servants,
And His indignation to His enemies. ‡

16 For by fire and by ^aHis sword
The Lord will judge all flesh;
And the slain of the Lord shall be ^bmany. ‡

17 “Those^a who sanctify themselves and purify themselves,
To go to the gardens
¹After an idol in the midst,
Eating swine’s flesh and the abomination and the mouse,
Shall¹ be consumed together,” says the Lord.  ‡
