11 The Lord will bring the people of Jacob back.
    The Lord will buy them back from people stronger than they were.
12 The people of Israel will come to the high points of Jerusalem.
    There they will shout for joy.
Their faces will shine with happiness about all the good things from the Lord:
    the grain, new wine, oil, young sheep and cows.
They will be like a garden that has plenty of water.
    And the people of Israel will not be troubled anymore.
13 Then young women of Israel will be happy and dance.
    The young men and old men will also dance.
I will change their sadness into happiness.
    I will give them comfort and joy instead of sadness.
