⁶ For the Lord has called you,
Like a wife ^(A)forsaken and grieved in spirit,
Even like a wife of one’s youth when she is rejected,”
Says your God.
⁷ “^[a]For a ^(B)brief moment I abandoned you,
But with great compassion I will ^(C)gather you.

¹⁵ “Whereas you have been ^(A)forsaken and ^(B)hated
With no one passing through,
I will make you an ^(C)object of pride forever,
A joy from generation to generation.

^18 (A)Violence will not be heard again in your land,
Nor ^(B)devastation or destruction within your borders;
But you will call your ^(C)walls salvation, and your ^(D)gates praise.
