Baruch, Chapter 4, verses 5-12, 27-29

⁵Be of good cheer, my people, the memorial of Israel.

⁶Ye were sold to the nations, not for [your] destruction: but because ye moved God to wrath, ye were delivered unto the enemies.

⁷For ye provoked him that made you by sacrificing unto devils, and not to God.

⁸Ye have forgotten the everlasting God, that brought you up; and ye have grieved Jerusalem, that nursed you.

⁹For when she saw the wrath of God coming upon you, she said, Hearken, O ye that dwell about Sion: God hath brought upon me great mourning;

¹⁰For I saw the captivity of my sons and daughters, which the Everlasting brought upon them.

¹¹With joy did I nourish them; but sent them away with weeping and mourning.

¹²Let no man rejoice over me, a widow, and forsaken of many, who for the sins of my children am left desolate; because they departed from the law of God.
...

²⁷Be of good comfort, O my children, and cry unto God: for ye shall be remembered of him that brought these things upon you.

²⁸For as it was your mind to go astray from God: so, being returned, seek him ten times more.

²⁹For he that hath brought these plagues upon you shall bring you everlasting joy with your salvation.

Luke, Chapter 10, verses 17-24

¹⁷And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

¹⁸And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

¹⁹Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

²⁰Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

²¹In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

²²All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.

²³And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:

²⁴For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
