12 Look! People will return to the land
    from places that are far away.
Yes, some of them will come from the north and from the west.
    And some will come from the land of Sinim.’[a]

    Be happy, everything on the earth!
    Sing loudly, you mountains!
Be happy, because the Lord comforts his people.
    He will be kind to his people who have trouble and pain.

14 But Zion's people said,
    ‘The Lord has left us alone.
    The Lord God has forgotten about us.’
