For thus the LORD God, the Holy One of Israel, has said, "In repentance and rest you shall be saved, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it."
And you said, "No, for we will flee on horse." Therefore you shall flee! "And we will ride on swift horses." Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift.
One thousand shall flee at the threat of one man, you shall flee at the threat of five; until you are left as a flag on a mountain top, and as a signal on a hill.
Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you, and therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; how blessed are all those who long for Him.
O people in Zion, inhabitant in Jerusalem, you will weep no longer. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will answer you.
Although the Lord has given you bread of privation and water of oppression, He, your Teacher will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes will behold you Teacher.
And your ears will hear a word behind you, "This is the way, walk in it," whenever you turn to the right or to the left.
