17 The Lord your God is with you.
    He is the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you.
    In his love he will no longer punish you.
    Instead, he will sing for joy because of you.”

18 The Lord says to his people,

“You used to celebrate my appointed feasts in Jerusalem.
    You are sad because you can’t do that anymore.
    Other people make fun of you because of that.
That sadness was a heavy load for you to carry.
    But I will remove that load from you.
19 At that time I will punish
    all those who crushed you.
I will save those among you who are disabled.
    I will gather those who have been taken away.
I will give them praise and honor
    in every land where they have been put to shame.
