24 For just as the neighbors of Zion have seen your captivity from God, so also will they soon see your salvation from God, which will overcome you with great honor and eternal splendor.
25 Sons, endure patiently the wrath that has come upon you, for your enemy has persecuted you, but you will quickly see his destruction and you will climb over his neck.
26 My delicate ones have walked rough ways, for they were regarded as a flock torn apart by enemies.
27 Be ever more peaceful in soul, sons, and call out to the Lord, for you will be remembered by him who led you away.
28 For as much as you thought to go astray from God, ten times as much again he will require of you when converting.
