God's people will build again their towns
    that became heaps of stones a long time ago.
Once again, they will live in the cities
    that have been empty for so long.

The Lord says to his people,

‘Foreign people will take care of your sheep for you.
They will work on your farms,
    and they will take care of your vines.[a]
People will call you
    “The Lord's priests who are servants of our God”.
You will enjoy valuable things from other nations.
You will boast about all the riches
    that you receive from them.
