Israel Will Be Restored
11 “On(A) that day I will raise up
The [a]tabernacle of David, which has fallen down,
And [b]repair its damages;
I will raise up its ruins,
And rebuild it as in the days of old;
12 (B)That they may possess the remnant of (C)Edom,[c]
And all the Gentiles who are called by My name,”
Says the Lord who does this thing.
13 “Behold, (D)the days are coming,” says the Lord,
“When the plowman shall overtake the reaper,
And the treader of grapes him who sows seed;
(E)The mountains shall drip with sweet wine,
And all the hills shall flow with it.
14 (F)I will bring back the captives of My people Israel;
(G)They shall build the waste cities and inhabit them;
They shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them;
They shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them.
15 I will plant them in their land,
(H)And no longer shall they be pulled up
From the land I have given them,”
Says the Lord your God.

Rebuilding the Wall
3 Then (A)Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brethren the priests (B)and built the Sheep Gate; they consecrated it and hung its doors. They built (C)as far as the Tower of [a]the Hundred, and consecrated it, then as far as the Tower of (D)Hananel. 2 [b]Next to Eliashib (E)the men of Jericho built. And next to them Zaccur the son of Imri built.

Ezra 4:12-24
New King James Version
12 Let it be known to the king that the Jews who came up from you have come to us at Jerusalem, and are building the (A)rebellious and evil city, and are finishing its (B)walls and repairing the foundations. 13 Let it now be known to the king that, if this city is built and the walls completed, they will not pay (C)tax, tribute, or custom, and the king’s treasury will be diminished. 14 Now because we receive support from the palace, it was not proper for us to see the king’s dishonor; therefore we have sent and informed the king, 15 that search may be made in the book of the records of your fathers. And you will find in the book of the records and know that this city is a rebellious city, harmful to kings and provinces, and that they have incited sedition within the city in former times, for which cause this city was destroyed.
16 We inform the king that if this city is rebuilt and its walls are completed, the result will be that you will have no dominion beyond the River.
17 The king sent an answer:
To Rehum the commander, to Shimshai the scribe, to the rest of their companions who dwell in Samaria, and to the remainder beyond the River:
Peace, [a]and so forth.
18 The letter which you sent to us has been clearly read before me. 19 And [b]I gave the command, and a search has been made, and it was found that this city in former times has revolted against kings, and rebellion and sedition have been fostered in it. 20 There have also been mighty kings over Jerusalem, who have (D)ruled over all the region (E)beyond the River; and tax, tribute, and custom were paid to them. 21 Now [c]give the command to make these men cease, that this city may not be built until the command is given by me.
22 Take heed now that you do not fail to do this. Why should damage increase to the hurt of the kings?
23 Now when the copy of King Artaxerxes’ letter was read before Rehum, Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem against the Jews, and by force of arms made them cease. 24 Thus the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem ceased, and it was discontinued until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.

Daniel 9:25
New King James Version
25 “Know therefore and understand,
That from the going forth of the command
To restore and build Jerusalem
Until (A)Messiah (B)the Prince,
There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks;
The [a]street shall be built again, and the [b]wall,
Even in troublesome times.
