19 From them will come a (A)song of thanksgiving
And the voices of those who [a](B)celebrate;
And I will (C)multiply them and they will not decrease;
I will (D)honor them and they will not be insignificant.
20 [b]Their children also will be as before,
And [c]their congregation will be (E)established before Me;
And I will punish all [d]their oppressors.
21 [e]Their (F)leader shall be one of them,
And [f]their ruler will come out from [g]their midst;
And I will (G)bring him near and he shall approach Me;
For [h]who would dare to risk his life to (H)approach Me?’ declares the Lord.
