God Turns Mourning to Joy
Commentators emphasize that God is the active agent who personally transforms sorrow. The promise is that 'I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them.' This joy is not a mere change in circumstances but a deep, divine comfort that replaces grief. This applies to both the nation of Israel returning from exile and to individual believers experiencing God's spiritual restoration and comfort in their own lives.
