“Do not be afraid. You will not be put to shame anymore.
    Do not be afraid of being dishonored.
    People will no longer make fun of you.
You will forget the time when you suffered as slaves in Egypt.
    You will no longer remember the shame
    of being a widow in Babylon.
I made you. I am now your husband.
    My name is the Lord Who Rules Over All.
I am the Holy One of Israel.
    I have set you free.
    I am the God of the whole earth.
You were like a wife who was deserted.
    And her heart was broken.
You were like a wife who married young.
    And her husband sent her away.
    But now I am calling you to come back,” says your God.
