18 “Thus says Yahweh,

‘Behold, I will [a](A)return the [b]fortunes of the tents of Jacob
And (B)have compassion on his dwelling places;
And the (C)city will be rebuilt on its ruin,
And the (D)palace will sit on its just place.
19 From them will come forth (E)thanksgiving
And the voice of those who [c](F)celebrate;
And I will (G)multiply them, and they will not decrease;
I will also (H)honor them, and they will not be insignificant.
20 [d]Their children also will be as formerly,
And [e]their congregation shall be (I)established before Me;
And I will punish all [f]their oppressors.
21 And [g]their (J)mighty one shall be one of them,
And [h]their ruler shall come forth from [i]their midst;
And I will (K)bring Him near, and He shall approach Me;
For who would dare to give his heart as security to (L)approach Me?’ declares Yahweh.
22 ‘You shall be (M)My people,
And I will be your God.’”

18 “This is what the Lord says:

“‘I will restore the fortunes(A) of Jacob’s tents(B)
    and have compassion(C) on his dwellings;
the city will be rebuilt(D) on her ruins,
    and the palace will stand in its proper place.
19 From them will come songs(E) of thanksgiving(F)
    and the sound of rejoicing.(G)
I will add to their numbers,(H)
    and they will not be decreased;
I will bring them honor,(I)
    and they will not be disdained.
20 Their children(J) will be as in days of old,
    and their community will be established(K) before me;
    I will punish(L) all who oppress them.
21 Their leader(M) will be one of their own;
    their ruler will arise from among them.(N)
I will bring him near(O) and he will come close to me—
    for who is he who will devote himself
    to be close to me?’
declares the Lord.
22 “‘So you will be my people,(P)
    and I will be your God.(Q)’”
