“Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord’s hand double for all her sins.”
The voice continues: speak to Jerusalem that her warfare has ended, that her iniquity has been pardoned, and that she has received from the LORD's hand double for all her sins, establishing that judgment has been completed and forgiveness granted. The oracle asserts that the exile and suffering are complete and that a new era of restoration is beginning. The reference to receiving double suggests that the people have endured more than sufficient punishment.
