Jeremiah 30:18-22
English Standard Version
18 “Thus says the Lord:
Behold, (A)I will restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob
and have compassion on his dwellings;
the city shall be rebuilt on (B)its mound,
and the palace shall stand where it used to be.
19 (C)Out of them shall come songs of thanksgiving,
and the voices of those who celebrate.
(D)I will multiply them, and they shall not be few;
I will make them honored, and they shall not be small.
20 (E)Their children shall be as they were of old,
and their congregation shall be established before me,
and I will punish all who oppress them.
21 (F)Their prince shall be one of themselves;
(G)their ruler shall come out from their midst;
(H)I will make him draw near, and he shall approach me,
(I)for who would dare of himself to approach me?
declares the Lord.
22 (J)And you shall be my people,
and I will be your God.”
Jeremiah 30:18-22
Common English Bible
18 The Lord proclaims:
I will restore Jacob’s tents
and have pity on their birthplace.
Their city will be rebuilt on its ruins
and the palace in its rightful place.
19 There will be laughter
and songs of thanks.
I will add to their numbers
so they don’t dwindle away.
I will honor them
so they aren’t humiliated.
20 Their children will thrive as they did long ago,
and their community will be established before me.
I will punish their oppressors.
21 They will have their own leader;
their ruler will come from among them.
I will let him approach me,
and he will draw near.
Who would dare approach me
unless I let them come?
declares the Lord.
22 You will be my people,
and I will be your God.
