Jeremiah 30:18-22

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁸ This is what the Lord says.
Look, I will end the captivity^[a] of Jacob’s tents
and have compassion on his dwellings.
The city will be rebuilt on the mound of its ruins,
and the citadel will stand in its rightful place.
¹⁹ Thanksgiving will come out of them,
    along with the sound of rejoicing.
I will multiply them,
and they will not decrease in number.
I will glorify them,
and they will not be insignificant.
²⁰ Their children will be as they were long ago,
and their community will be established in my presence.
I will punish all who oppress them.
²¹ Their strong leader will be one of their own,
and their ruler will arise from among them.
I will summon him to come near,
and he will approach me,
for who would be bold enough to approach me?
says the Lord.
²² You shall be my people,
and I will be your God.
