The people of Israel are going to live a long time
   stripped of security and protection,
without religion and comfort,
   godless and prayerless.
But in time they’ll come back, these Israelites,
   come back looking for their God and their David-King.
They’ll come back chastened to reverence
   before God and his good gifts, ready for the End of the story of his love.
