18 I will gather those of you grieving on account of the feast;
    they were raising against her a reproach.
19 Behold, at that time I will deal with all your oppressors;
    I will save the lame and gather the outcast.
I will change[a] them from shame
    to glory and renown[b] throughout the whole world.
20 At that time I will bring you in;
    at the time of my gathering you together.
For I will make you renowned[c] and praised
    among all the nations of the earth
when I restore your fortunes before your eyes,”
    says Yahweh.
