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 all the nations I have called to be mine.[b]”
The Lord has spoken,
and he will do these things.

Common English Bible
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.
I will raise up its ruins,
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.
