And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD.
When you see how the survivors live and what they do, it'll actually bring you some peace. You'll finally understand that everything I allowed to happen had a real purpose behind it, I didn't just let things fall apart for no reason, says the Lord God.
Even in the aftermath, God's plan will make sense and bring unexpected comfort.
