Restoration of Jacob

18 “This is what the Lord says:
‘Behold, I will (A)restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob
And (B)have compassion on his dwellings;
And the (C)city will be rebuilt on its ruins,
And the (D)palace will stand on its rightful place.
19 From them will come a (E)song of thanksgiving
And the voices of those who [a](F)celebrate;
And I will (G)multiply them and they will not decrease;
I will (H)honor them and they will not be insignificant.
20 [b]Their children also will be as before,
And [c]their congregation will be (I)established before Me;
And I will punish all [d]their oppressors.
21 [e]Their (J)leader shall be one of them,
And [f]their ruler will come out from [g]their midst;
And I will (K)bring him near and he shall approach Me;
For [h]who would dare to risk his life to (L)approach Me?’ declares the Lord.
22 ‘You shall be (M)My people,
And I will be your God.’”

Restoration of the Land

18 This is what the Lord says:

I will certainly restore the fortunes[a] of Jacob’s tents(A)
and show compassion(B) on his dwellings.
Every city will be rebuilt on its mound;
every citadel will stand on its proper site.
19 Thanksgiving will come out of them,
a sound of rejoicing.
I will multiply them, and they will not decrease;(C)
I will honor them, and they will not be insignificant.
20 His children will be as in past days;
his congregation will be established in my presence.
I will punish all his oppressors.(D)
21 Jacob’s leader will be one of them;
his ruler will issue from him.
I will invite him to me, and he will approach me,(E)
for who would otherwise risk his life to approach me?
This is the Lord’s declaration.
22 You will be my people,
and I will be your God.(F)
