Comfort, Comfort

Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that her warfare is ended, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received from the Lord’s hand double for all her sins (Isaiah 40:1–2, esv). “Comfort, comfort my people, says your God,” the prophet Isaiah recorded.
