When Is Enough-Enough

The Message: The Bible in Contemporary Language Chapter 40

“Comfort, oh comfort my people,”

says your God.

“Speak softly and tenderly to Jerusalem,

but also make it very clear

That she has served her sentence,

that her sin is taken care of—forgiven!

She’s been punished enough and more than enough,

and now it’s over and done with.”

“Comfort, oh comfort my people,”

says your God.

(2) “Speak softly and tenderly to Jerusalem, but also make it very clear

but also make it very clear

She’s been punished enough and more than enough,

and now it’s over and done with.”
