17 I was very angry with them.
    They always longed for more and more of everything.
So I punished them for that sin.
    I turned my face away from them because I was angry.
    But they kept on wanting their own way.
18 I have seen what they have done.
    But I will heal them.
I will guide them.
    I will give those who mourn in Israel the comfort they had before.
19     Then they will praise me.
I will give perfect peace to those who are far away and those who are near.
    And I will heal them,” says the Lord.
