Jeremiah 30:18-22

New Century Version

“I will soon make the tents of Jacob’s people as they used to be,
    and I will have pity on Israel’s houses.
The city will be rebuilt on its hill of ruins,
    and the king’s palace will stand in its proper place.
¹⁹ People in those places will sing songs of praise.
    There will be the sound of laughter.
I will give them many children
    so their number will not be small.
I will bring honor to them
    so no one will look down on them.
²⁰ Their descendants will be as they were in the old days.
    I will set them up as a strong people before me,
and I will punish the nations who have hurt them.
²¹ One of their own people will lead them;
    their ruler will come from among them.
He will come near to me when I invite him.
    Who would dare to come to me uninvited?” says the Lord.
²² “So you will be my people,
    and I will be your God.”
