Jeremiah 30:19-21

New International Reader's Version

¹⁹ From those places the songs of people giving thanks will be heard.
    The sound of great joy will come from there.
I will cause there to be more of my people.
    There will not be fewer of them.
I will bring them honor.
    People will have respect for them.
²⁰ Things will be as they used to be for Jacob’s people.
    I will make their community firm and secure.
    I will punish everyone who treats them badly.
²¹ Their leader will be one of their own people.
    Their ruler will rise up from among them.
I will bring him near.
    And he will come close to me.
    He will commit himself to serve me,”
    announces the Lord.
