17 I was angry because they were dishonest in order to make money.
    I punished them and turned away from them in anger,
    but they continued to do evil.
18 I have seen what they have done, but I will heal them.
    I will guide them and comfort them and those who felt sad for them.

19 I will give peace, real peace, to those far and near,
    and I will heal them,” says the Lord.
