17 I was angry because ·they were dishonest in order to make money [of their sinful greed].
    I punished them and ·turned away from them [L hid my face] in anger,
    but they ·continued to do evil [L turned away in the way of their heart].
18 I have seen ·what they have done [their ways], but I will heal them.
    I will guide them and comfort them and those who ·felt sad for them [mourn].
    ·They will all praise me [I will create praise on their lips; L …creating fruit of lips].
19 ·I will give peace, real peace [L Peace, peace], to those far and near,
    and I will heal them,” says the Lord.
