Jacob’s Restoration

18 “This is what the Lord says:
‘I’m going to restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob
    and have compassion on his dwellings.
A city will be rebuilt on its ruins
    and a palace[a] will sit on its rightful place.
19 Thanksgiving and the sounds of laughter
    will come out of them.
I’ll cause them to increase in numbers and not decrease.
    I’ll honor them and not make them insignificant.
20 Their[b] children will be as they were before,
    and their congregation will be established before me.
I’ll punish all who oppress them.
