Isaiah 40:1-2

Amplified Bible

40 “Comfort, O comfort My people,” says your God.

“Speak ^[a]tenderly to Jerusalem,
And call out to her, that her time of compulsory service in warfare is finished,
That her wickedness has been taken away [since her punishment is sufficient],
That she has received from the Lord’s hand
Double [punishment] for all her sins.”
