Restoration of Jacob

18 “Thus says the Lord,
‘Behold, I will (A)restore the [a]fortunes of the tents of Jacob
And (B)have compassion on his dwelling places;
And the (C)city will be rebuilt on its ruin,
And the (D)palace will stand on its rightful place.
19 ‘From them will proceed (E)thanksgiving
And the voice of those who [b](F)celebrate;
And I will (G)multiply them and they will not be diminished;
I will also (H)honor them and they will not be insignificant.
20 [c]Their children also will be as formerly,
And [d]their congregation shall be (I)established before Me;
And I will punish all [e]their oppressors.

    and their community will be established(K) before me;
