18 Yahweh says:

“Behold, I will reverse the captivity of Jacob’s tents,
    and have compassion on his dwelling places.
The city will be built on its own hill,
    and the palace will be inhabited in its own place.
19 Thanksgiving will proceed out of them
    with the voice of those who make merry.
I will multiply them,
    and they will not be few;
I will also glorify them,
    and they will not be small.
20 Their children also will be as before,
    and their congregation will be established before me.
    I will punish all who oppress them.
21 Their prince will be one of them,
    and their ruler will proceed from among them.
I will cause him to draw near,
    and he will approach me;
    for who is he who has had boldness to approach me?” says Yahweh.
22 “You shall be my people,
    and I will be your God.

Behold, (A)I will restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob
    and have compassion on his dwellings;

    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;

    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.”
