Jeremiah 30:18-22
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
18 Thus says the Lord:
See! I will restore the fortunes of Jacob’s tents,
on his dwellings I will have compassion;
A city shall be rebuilt upon its own ruins,
a citadel restored where it should be.(A)
19 From them will come praise,
the sound of people rejoicing.
I will increase them, they will not decrease,
I will glorify them, they will not be insignificant.(B)
20 His children shall be as of old,
his assembly shall stand firm in my presence,
I will punish all his oppressors.(C)
21 His leader[a] shall be one of his own,
and his ruler shall emerge from his ranks.
He shall approach me when I summon him;
Why else would he dare
approach me?—oracle of the Lord.
22 You shall be my people,
and I will be your God.(D)
