- the LORD[YHWH]:
- "I,¹ [even] I,¹ [am] he¹ that comfortethª° you: who¹ [art] thou,¹ that thou shouldest be afraidª° of a manª¹ [that] shall die,ª° and of the sonª¹ of manª [which] shall be madeª° [as] grass;ª" {Isa 51:12} + "And in that¹ dayª thou shalt say,ª° O LORD,ª I will praiseª° thee: though¹ thou wast angryª° with me, thine angerª is turned away,ª° and thou comfortedstª° me." {Isa 12:1} + "Comfortª° ye, comfortª° ye my people,ª saithª° your God.ª ... Speakª° ye comfortablyª¹ to Jerusalem,ª and cryª° unto¹ her, that¹ her warfareª is accomplished,ª° that¹ her iniquityª is pardoned:ª° for¹ she hath receivedª° of the LORD'Sª handª¹ doubleª for all¹ her sins.ª" {Isa 40:1-2} + "Sing,ª° O heavens;ª and be joyful,ª° O earth;ª and break forthª° into singing,ª O mountains:ª for¹ the LORDª hath comfortedª° his people,ª and will have mercyª° upon his afflicted.ª" {Isa 49:13} + "For¹ the LORDª hath calledª° thee as a womanª forsakenª° and grievedª° in spirit,ª and a wifeª of youth,ª when¹ thou wast refused,ª° saithª° thy God.ª ... In a littleª wrathª I hidª° my faceª from¹ thee for a moment;ª but with everlastingª kindnessª will I have mercyª° on thee, saithª° the LORDª thy Redeemer.ª°" {Isa 54:6-8} + "The Spiritª of the Lordª GODª [is] upon¹ me; because¹ the LORDª hath anointedª° me to preach good tidingsª° unto the meek;ª he hath sentª° me to bind upª° the brokenhearted,ªª° to proclaimª° libertyª to the captives,ª° and the opening of the prisonª to [them that are] bound;ª° ... To appointª° unto them that mournª in Zion,ª to giveª° unto them beautyª for¹ ashes,ª the oilª of joyª for¹ mourning,ª the garmentª of praiseª for¹ the spiritª of heaviness;ª that they might be calledª° treesª of righteousness,ª the plantingª of the LORD,ª that he might be glorified.ª°" {Isa 61:1-3} + "Rejoiceª° ye with¹ Jerusalem,ª and be gladª° with her, all¹ ye that loveª° her: rejoiceª° for joyª with¹ her, all¹ ye that mournª° for¹ her: ... And when ye seeª° [this], your heartª shall rejoice,ª° and your bonesª shall flourishª° like an herb:ª and the handª of the LORDª shall be knownª° toward¹ his servants,ª and [his] indignationª° toward¹ his enemies.ª°" {Isa 66:10-14} + "I will hearª° what¹ Godª the LORDª will speak:ª° for¹ he will speakª° peaceª unto¹ his people,ª and to¹ his saints:ª but let them not¹ turn againª° to folly.ª" {Psa 85:8} + "Therefore they shall comeª° and singª° in the heightª of Zion,ª and shall flow togetherª° to¹ the goodnessª of the LORD,ª for¹ wheat,ª and for¹ wine,ª and for¹ oil,ª and for¹ the youngª of the flockª and of the herd:ª and their soulª shall be¹ as a wateredª garden;ª and they shall not¹ sorrowª° any moreª° at all. ... And I will satiateª° the soulª of the priestsª with fatness,ª and my peopleª shall be satisfied²° with¹¹ my goodness,ª saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 31:12-14} + "For¹ I have satiatedª° the wearyª soul,ª and I have replenishedª° every¹ sorrowfulª° soul.ª" {Jer 31:25} + "Sing,ª° O daughterª of Zion;ª shout,ª° O Israel;ª be gladª° and rejoiceª° with all¹ the heart,ª O daughterª of Jerusalem.ª ... At that¹ timeª will I bringª° you [again], even in the timeª that I gatherª° you: for¹ I will makeª° you a nameª and a praiseª among all¹ peopleª of the earth,ª when I turn backª°¹ your captivityª before your eyes,ª saithª° the LORD.ª" {Zph 3:14-20} + "Blessedª [be] God,ª evenª the Fatherª of ourª Lordª Jesusª Christ,ª the¹ Fatherª of mercies,ª andª the Godª of allª comfort;ª ... Whoª comfortethª° usª inª allª ourª tribulation,ª that² weª may be ableª° to comfortª° them¹ which are inª anyª trouble,ª byª the¹ comfortª wherewithª we²°¹ ourselves² are comfortedª° ofª God.ª" {2Co 1:3-4}
