13 As a mother comforts her son,
so I will comfort you,(A)
and you will be comforted in Jerusalem.
14 You will see, you will rejoice,
and you[a] will flourish like grass;(B)
then the Lord’s power will be revealed to his servants,
but he will show his wrath against his enemies.
15 Look, the Lord will come with fire(C)
his chariots are like the whirlwind(D)
to execute his anger with fury
and his rebuke with flames of fire.
