At that time will I bring you in, and at that time will I gather you; for I will give you honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I restore your fortunes before your eyes, says Yahweh.
He repeats the same things, with some change in the words; and not without reason, because no one of then thought that the Jews, who were cast as it were into the grave, would ever come forth again, and especially, that they would be raised unto such dignity and unto so elevated an honor.
Remove the sin and the sorrow follows of itself; when the cause falls away, the effect cannot stand. Those who reform have solid ground to rejoice, for God's promises applied by faith fill the saints with joy and peace in believing. Cast off every discouragement: fear not the worst, lift up your hands, and pluck up your spirits.
