I, the Lord, have spoken and I will do it.(C)

International Standard Version
The Restoration of Israel’s Cities
33 “This is what the Lord God says: ‘At the same time[a] that I cleanse you from all of your guilt, I’ll make your cities become inhabited again and the desolate wastelands will be rebuilt. 34 The desolate fields will be cultivated, replacing the former wasteland that everyone who passed by in times past[b] had noticed. 35 They will say, “This wasteland has become like the garden of Eden, and what used to be desolate ruins are now fortified and inhabited.” 36 Then the surviving people that live around you will learn that I, the Lord, have rebuilt these ruins and have cultivated these pastures that used to be desolate wastelands. I, the Lord, have spoken this, and I’m going to bring it about!’
