Isaiah talks more about how God will punish Babylon for persecuting Israel:

“I was angry with my people; I treated them as no longer mine; I put them in your power and you showed them no mercy.”

Isaiah tells of God longing for Israel to come back to him, and of how He will send a saviour who will redeem the whole world.

Psalm 122 is about how much God loves Jerusalem, and I hope it is a prophecy of how one day Jerusalem will one day be restored to peace and order.

Dear God, I pray for peace in the Holy Land. I pray that You will restore Your Holy Land to the magnificent and lovely place You talk about throughout the bible- where the lamb and the lion will lie down together, and children will play near snakes without coming to harm. I pray for this peace across Your world. I pray that You will come, Lord come, into Your grieving world and create Your kingdom here. Please help me be a faithful worker for You until that day comes. In Jesus’ name, Amen
