- The punishment of thine iniquity:

"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 40:2} + "But fearª° not¹ thou,¹ O my servantª Jacob,ª and be not¹ dismayed,ª° O Israel:ª for,¹ behold,¹ I will saveª° thee from afar off,ª¹ and thy seedª from the landª¹ of their captivity;ª and Jacobª shall return,ª° and be in restª° and at ease,ª° and none¹ shall make [him] afraid.ª° ... Fearª° thou¹ not,¹ O Jacobª my servant,ª saithª° the LORD:ª for¹ I¹ [am] with¹ thee; for¹ I will makeª° a full endª of all¹ the nationsª whither¹¹ I have drivenª° thee: but I will not¹ makeª° a full endª of thee, but correctª° thee in measure;ª yet will I not¹ leave thee whollyª° unpunished.ª°" {Jer 46:27-28} + "In those¹ days,ª and in that¹ time,ª saithª° the LORD,ª¹ the iniquityª of Israelª shall be sought for,ª° and [there shall be] none;¹ and the sinsª of Judah,ª and they shall not¹ be found:ª° for¹ I will pardonª° them whom¹ I reserve.ª°" {Jer 50:20}
