Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that she has served her term, that her penalty is paid, that she has received from the LORD's hand double for all her sins. Then the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all people shall see it together, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors and made the people great during their stay in the land of Egypt, and with uplifted arm he led them out of it.

After that he gave them judges until the time of the prophet Samuel.
