1Yahweh says, “You people who desire to act righteously/justly,
2Think about your ancestor Abraham and his wife Sarah, of whom all of you are descendants.
3Some day I, Yahweh, will encourage his descendants again,
4My people of Judah, listen carefully [DOU] to me,
5I will soon/quickly rescue you [DOU];
6Look up at the sky,
7You people who know what things are right to do,
8because some day they will be destroyed
9Yahweh, wake up and do something for us!
10Surely you are [RHQ] the one who caused the Red Sea to become dry
11And those whom Yahweh will rescue from being exiled in Babylonia
12Yahweh says,
13◄Why have you/You should not have► [RHQ] forgotten me, Yahweh, the one who created your nation,
14Soon you people who have been caused to be slaves in Babylonia will be freed!
15because I am Yahweh, your God,
16I have given you my message [MTY] to proclaim,
17You people of [APO] Jerusalem, wake up [DOU]!
18Now you do not have any children who are alive [DOU]
19You have experienced several disasters:
20Your children have fainted and lie in the streets;
21So now, you people who have suffered much,
22Yahweh, your Lord and your God,
23Instead, I will cause those who have tormented you to suffer;
