Jeremiah 30:17-19
Easy-to-Read Version
17 And I will bring your health back
and heal your wounds,” says the Lord,
“because other people said you were outcasts.[a]
They said, ‘No one cares about Zion.’”
18 This is what the Lord says:
“Jacob’s people are now in captivity,
but they will come back.
And I will have pity on Jacob’s houses.
The city[b] is now only an empty hill covered with ruined buildings,
but the city will be rebuilt on its hill.
And the king’s palace will be rebuilt where it should be.
19 People in those places will sing songs of praise,
and there will be the sound of laughter.
I will give them many children.
Israel and Judah will not be small.
I will bring honor to them.
No one will look down on them.
