38 “Look, the days are coming”—the Lord’s declaration—“when the city[a] from the Tower of Hananel(A) to the Corner Gate(B) will be rebuilt for the Lord. 39 A measuring line will once again stretch out straight to the hill of Gareb(C) and then turn toward Goah. 40 The whole valley—the corpses, the ashes, and all the fields as far as the Kidron Valley(D) to the corner of the Horse Gate(E) to the east—will be holy to the Lord. It will never be uprooted or demolished again.”
