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.
