29 Then great and general lamentation arose throughout the assembly, and they cried out to the Lord God with a loud voice. 30 But Uzziah said to them, ‘Courage, my brothers and sisters![a] Let us hold out for five days more; by that time the Lord our God will turn his mercy to us again, for he will not forsake us utterly.
