¹⁶ “When all of this happens,^[a] it will be told Jerusalem,
    ‘Don’t be afraid!”
and to Zion,
    ‘Don’t lose courage!”^[b]
17 The Lord your God among you is powerful—
    he will save
and he will take joyful delight in you.
    In his love he will renew you^[c] with his love;
        he will celebrate with singing because of you.
¹⁸ I will gather the afflicted from the solemn assembly;
    those who were with you,
        who were bearing a burden of disgrace.
