12Then will the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old men together. For I will turn their mourning into joy, and I will comfort them, and make them rejoice out of their sorrow. 13I will fill the soul of the kohanim with fatness and My people will be satisfied with My goodness.” It is a declaration of Adonai.

For your work will be rewarded” —it is declaration of Adonai— “when they will return from the land of the enemy. 16So there is hope for your future” —it is declaration of Adonai— “when your children will return to their own territory.
