17 Because of their wicked avarice I was angry,
    and I struck them, keeping myself hidden,
    but they continued on their rebellious path.
18 I saw how they behaved, but I will heal them;

    both them and those who mourn for them.
19 Peace, peace to all, both far and near,
    and I will heal them, says the Lord.
