A Promise of Restoration

11 “In that day I will restore the fallen house[a] of David.
    I will repair its damaged walls.
From the ruins I will rebuild it
    and restore its former glory.
12 And Israel will possess what is left of Edom
    and all the nations I have called to be mine.[b]
The Lord has spoken,
    and he will do these things.

Divine promise of restoration

11 On that day I will raise up
        the meeting tent of David that has fallen,
    and repair its broken places.

    and I will rebuild it like a long time ago;
12 so that they may possess what is left of Edom,
        as well as all the nations who are called by my name,
says the Lord who will do this.
