Vers. 19. Surely a people shall dwell in Zion and in Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will certainly have mercy upon thee at the voice of thy cry: when he heareth thee, he will answer thee.
Vers. 19. Surely a people shall dwell in Zion and in Ierusalem: thou shalt weepe no more: he will certainlie haue mercie vpon thee at the voice of thy crie: when he heareth thee, he will answer thee.
HE confirms the former sentence, to wit, that the people shall indeed be afflicted, but yet that in the end they shall return unto Zion. But this was a matter very incredible, especially after the ruin of Jerusalem and the whole land, for then it seemed that all the people were consumed: yet the Prophet gives them a promise that the Church shall continue safe.1 He begins at Mount Zion where the Temple was erected, and saith, that the Lord shall yet be there called upon: then he adds, that it shall be also in Jerusalem: thereby understanding the spreading and increasing of the Church; together with the restoration of such things as before were ruinated. In the mean while he advertiseth them that Jerusalem shall be repeopled, because God had his dwelling there.
