17 For I will restore you to health
    and heal your wounds, says the Lord,
because you were called an outcast,
    with no one to avenge you.
18 Thus says the Lord:
    I will restore the tents of Jacob
    and have compassion for his dwellings.
The city will be rebuilt on its hill
    and the citadel restored on its traditional site.
19 From them will come forth songs of thanksgiving
    and the sounds of rejoicing.
I will increase their number;
    they will not diminish.
I will make them honored;
    no longer will they be disdained.
