² “Speak tenderly to^[a] Jerusalem,
and announce to her
that her time of hard service is over,
her iniquity^(A) has been pardoned,^(B)
and she has received from the Lord’s hand
double for all her sins.”^(C)

²² I have swept away your transgressions like a cloud,^(A)
and your sins like a mist.
Return to me,^(B)
for I have redeemed you.^(C)

²⁰ In those days and at that time—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
one will search for Israel’s iniquity,
but there will be none,
and for Judah’s sins,
but they will not be found,
for I will forgive^(A) those I leave as a remnant.^(B)
