נַחֲמוּ נַחֲמוּ עַמִּי יֹאמַר אֱלֹהֵיכֶם׃
na-kha-MU na-kha-MU a-MEE yo-MAR e-lo-hay-KHEM
Comfort, oh comfort My people, Says your God.
Isaiah 40:1

דַּבְּרוּ עַל־לֵב יְרוּשָׁלַ ִם וְקִרְאוּ אֵלֶיהָ כִּי מָלְאָה צְבָאָהּ כִּי נִרְצָה עֲוׂנָהּ כִּי לָקְחָה מִיַּד יְהֹוָה כִּפְלַיִם בְּכָל־חַטֹּאתֶיהָ׃
da-B’-RU al-LEV ye-ru-sha-LA-im v’-kir-U e-LE-ha KEE mal-AH t’-va-AH KEE nir-TZAH a-vo-NAH KEE la-KE-khah mi-YAD a-do-NAI kif-LA-yim b’-kol-cha-TO-tei-HA. {S}
Speak tenderly to Yerushalayim, And declare to her That her term of service is over, That her iniquity is expiated; For she has received at the hand of Hashem Double for all her sins.
Isaiah 40:2
