They call to the people to stop crying, and to rejoice.

Is not our God a God of mercy?
Is there not forgiveness with Him?
If sin is confessed and forsaken, will He not pardon it?
Dry your tears then, and, instead of crying, rejoice.

Be merry and glad that God is willing to forgive, nay, that He has forgiven you.
Cheer up, for this day is holy unto the Lord; it is a feast day, the joyous Feast of Trumpets.

Mourn not, nor weep.

Do not imagine that God likes you to be miserable; He wants you to be happy.
