20 Their children(A) will be as in days of old,
    and their community will be established(B) before me;
    I will punish(C) all who oppress them.
21 Their leader(D) will be one of their own;
    their ruler will arise from among them.(E)
I will bring him near(F) and he will come close to me—
    for who is he who will devote himself
    to be close to me?’
declares the Lord.
22 “‘So you will be my people,(G)
    and I will be your God.(H)’”

23 See, the storm(I) of the Lord
    will burst out in wrath,
a driving wind swirling down
    on the heads of the wicked.
24 The fierce anger(J) of the Lord will not turn back(K)
    until he fully accomplishes
    the purposes of his heart.
In days to come
    you will understand(L) this.
